Well, these days ebuilds can be marked as interactive, showing a yellow I in emerge -pv. That's what for example "doom3-demo" does with it's license, so if people run an emerge -uDN world over night, ignoring those flags, it's their fault. I too would like to see as few interactive ebuilds as possible. - Sascha
