Right now 'emerge action' and 'emerge --action' are both supported. But as we learned with the rsync case 'emerge action' has potential namespace conflicts with 'emerge package' I'd propose to deprecate 'emerge action' before we hit another real conflict. (The alternative would be to deprecate 'emerge package' in favor of a to-be-written 'emerge install <package>', but that's even more problematic) Technically it's a no-brainer, only potential problem would be user confusion. Any objections against this for pre5?
