Hey.
I would like to know whether some kind of reverse-dependency support is
going to be included in Portage2. It would be nice if in case of
unmerging a package, Portage would let the user know whether some
installed packages need it and if so, what packages do.
I would second that feature request. It would also allow for some intelligent
'auto-healing' of the system, by allowing one to (optionally) recompile any
packages dependent on an ebuild that has just been upgraded so they run
against the newest version or warning one before a package upon which others
rely is removed. This is the one feature I miss most about Source Mage
(sorcerer).

Yes, that must be something that the next version of portage address.
I also second that feature request!
