Using "emerge --update foo" adds "foo" to your world file. This is

Is there any reason to desire the current behavior? I'd like to

it be fixed, but want to be sure I'm not just being short-sighted.
Pretty sure that's what -1 is for. I'm just getting the hang of it
myself.
Well, I know what I'm *supposed* to do. My complaint is basically that I
sometimes forget to add -1 with -u, and that bad things happen as a result.
But why should I have to add -1 along with it? Is there any reason you
would ever want -u to add a package to your world file? If not, we can
avoid headaches in the future by making it do the sane (not harmful) thing.
Uh-oh...
I've *never* used -1 unless I'm trying to fix a broken package by
recompiling it... I've always just used
emerge -vuDN world...
Been doing it this way for 7+ years, and never had a problem, so my
question is:
What 'harmful' thing has been happening on/to my system all these years?
