I third this, also potentially for other packages, like mysql (just
gone from 3.x to 4x) and not to mention VMware where upgrading will
break *everyone's* configuration unless they first go out and buy a
licence for the new version. 

IMO this kind of upgrade should happen on purpose because someone
chose to do it, not as the result of emerge -u.
