Thanks, --Dan I think this is stuff for a local wrapper script and not yet another emerge option that is almost identical to --ask in this case (from a user POV). Also don't see much use for this feature, the overhead for calling emerge twice isn't that big, especially when talking about automated stuff (lie your case seems to be).

I know of at least one person that abuses the --ask feature to accomplish something similar. If you press the "Enter" key twice when invoking emerge, it will interpret that as "yes". Anyway, I'd like to have this feature too. I've heard that paludis already does this. BTW, feature requests are usually submitted via http://bugs.gentoo.org.

What's wrong with running 'emerge -uDpvt world && emerge -uDv world'? Why do you say --pretend is "overloaded"?
