OK, this is a question that's been bothering me..

What about the "improper inheritance if eclass" or whatever errors I often
see during the unmerge of old packages after an update?  When the question
last came up (in general, not on unmerging packages), the answer was the
system wasn't quite ready to handle the deluge of such errors just yet. 
It was new to portage and in a version still hard masked at the time for
testing, IIRC.  However, since then I've continued to see the QA Notice
message, but most of the time during an unmerge of an old package after an
update to a newer version.  Thus, I've figured it's getting the old
packages out of the way and it's not worth reporting those QA Notices on
those old packages.  Is that correct, or at least for someone generally
keeping up with ~arch (in my case ~amd64), should I be reporting those on
unmerges as well, now?
