Both the usual places one looks for documentation on command line options for a Unix command cover it. That seems decent documentation to me, as I didn't remember what the option was either as I've never needed to use it, but I found it relatively quickly when I needed to, and had looked over the manpage before when learning about emerge and portage, so was aware the command existed if needed. While making this a feature so the user can change the default might be debatable, the stated purpose and default seem sensible to me. Meanwhile, if you want that for your default, it's simple enough to do with a shell alias, or using the new EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS var in make.conf. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
