Yes: Having tired of hand-editing, I ignore it. :) More precisely, I use revdep-rebuild -pv and cut and paste an emerge by hand. (It occurs to me that revdep-rebuild isn't quite in the Un*x spirit; perhaps it should output arguments for a call to 'xargs emerge'; then it would be easy to use a person's favorite filter.)
