If that ever happened I hope it would be made optional. I'm just the
opposite. I would hate to come back to my system to learn that 105
packages didn't get built because someone decided to interrupt it
because of a change in an /etc/* file. Furthermore, I wouldn't trust
what individual package maintainers thought was worthy of interrupting
my build. Builds should only be interrupted if they cannot continue.

I agree. When doing the occasional emerge -e world the process needs
to move forward without interruption.
I am interested however in learning about how to get these messages
logged and sent by email or at least into some file that easy to look
at. I think they already go into the portage /var log file but I find
that pretty tedious and easy to miss messages.
Thanks,
Mark
