That way you can emerge away and not worry about it being added to your world file. If you really want something added to the world file, just add --select y to the command line and it will override the -1 option set in the defaults.
Basically, if something gets added to the world file, you put effort into it being added. I've done mine that way for a long time now and it is rare that something gets added to the world file that I don't know about. Also, if you install something just to play around with but don't know if you really want it or not, it will remind you on the next --depclean run. It will be listed to remove since it's not in the world file. So, if you decide not to keep it around, it will be removed for you when you clean the unneeded stuff out. Just a thought. Dale :-) :-)
