Look at it this way:
with emerge<package> you tell portage to install a package and add
it to
world. Period. The package will be installed, no matter whether it’s
at the
newest version or not. With -u, however, you tell emerge to only do the
installation if the package is actually upgradable. So it’s not an
action
(“upgrade this package”), but an option (“install only if upgradable”).
I have no problem seeing it that way, and don't have a semantic
preference for one or the other. My problem is that the current
behavior can screw up your world file, whereas the old behavior could
not.
Plus the only way to fix this is to override it in make.conf with the
--oneshot option. To me, when you have to fix something like this,
something is not done right.
I like the way Frank explained this. That was my point way back.
