So, what do people think about removing (some) of the special treatment
for the "system" and "world" targets?
Mainly I'm interested in removing the "selective" parameter that's
currently enabled for them (so for example without that parameter
`emerge world` would default to remerging packages, unless --update or
--noreplace are specified). That change has already been requested a
few times in the past by users, but OTOH it could probably upset people
who don't use --update with world/system.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
