Since it does not seem to be too popular, to let "dobin, etc." die, i would suggest writing a big fat red "QA: command 'dobin xyz' failed" on the screen, so that even the last user notices that. Perhaps also writing those QA-warnings to emerge.log? Is that aready done at the moment? If not, i would suggest that - and actually i would rather like that "dobin, etc." die on error. Well, but some people here claim, that the ebuilds are not tested that much, before they go into portage. Well, that's another decision: what should gentoo's quality be like?
