Exactly - have you have been around gentoo long enough to remember the elegantly simple -u and -U mechanism we used to have to control upgrade/downgrade. Instead we have a bunch of files that were initially poorly documented (when this was released), and in practise for me at least, are a backward step in application and use.
Maybe its harking back to simpler days, but this is a change that broke a system for me, caused a lot of wasted time, and seems a needless complication to a simple system.
