I also thought about this problem: I usually read news items before updating, but I have also seen how other people with root access to other machines I mainly maintain forget from time to time to do so. This is why I opened: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363567 As news items are really there to be read BEFORE updating, I think that it should be enforced to prevent people from updating before reading them (I have also read Lars comment, I obviously have no problem at all with adding some option to revert this behavior, but I still think default behavior should be to prevent update if news items are not read).
