    Hello everyone!
    Upon upgrade, portage told me that x11-base/xorg-x11 is masked and will
    be removed from the repo on November 1st. I thought "ok, why not do it
    now", so I have typed:
    # emerge -W x11-base/xorg-x11
    # emerge -cav
    and there was a surprise (not a pleasant one). Since xorg-x11 is a metapackage it pulled so many things I would like to have still here.
    Is there any reasonable way to put all those packages to my world file,
    so I can easily remove xorg-x11 without deleting half of my desktop
    apps?

    Please see discussions in:

    cheers,
    Holger
