The problem is that there are different tarballs with exactly the same
URL. Portage is using MD5 verification to check for corrupted downloads,
now if you silently update the tarball this check will fail. This is a
problem for our users. I can fix it in our tree quite easy (although I
still have to verify it's "just" a new tarball, not a hacked one), but
it shouldn't happen in the first place.

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.
