It is my understanding - and please tell me if I'm wrong - that the "r" 
suffixes on the ends of ebuild versions represent fixes to the ebuild, rather 
than to the package itself.  If that is so, would that mean that 
category/thing-x.y.z-r2 won't contain anything important (such as security 
fixes) that isn't already in version x.y.z-r1?

In that case, is there a way to avoid these petty upgrades when I "emerge -u 
world"?

Thanks
Robert
