I just do not like when perfectly working system is “upgraded” to not working. Today I have upgraded my X.org X11 to 7.1 and … my Fglrx drivers stopped working. Does not matter which version, it just does not work due to binary incompatibility between modules and X11. crap! I had to merge f86-video-ati which does not support any acceleration … and now my Firefox is bloody slow! when scrolling.  Accutally , I would love to know why…

That situation makes me think about some Portage tweak. It has warned me that my ati-drivers are blocking xorg-server-1.1 ( or some other latest number) but this block has stopped whole upgrade for my world… what if it would just tell me that this and this will not be upgraded due to this block, and carry on with stuff which does not depend on blocked ebuilds. And when all new versions will reach portage it will upgrade remaining software.

Second tweak would be to rollback last X upgrades. Like in my situation I found my system malfunctioning after upgrade, and I would like to rollback to previous working perfectly ( OK, almost ) state. emerge –rollback ati-drivers-X.X.X and all software which is blocking because it is to new would be downgraded. Cool!

To be honest … it might be there, but no body told me about it( GWN? ) and forums are just too crowdy.
