IMHO this isn't a good advice. |

I managed to pile up a bit of mess in my system when I set |
| 8 |
aside /etc/portage/package.keyword with the intention of cleaning it by |
| 9 |
re-creation. |

Not every package needed was listed in subsequent "emerge -aDuv world", |
| 12 |
so I discovered many missing packages during normal usage of the |
| 13 |
computer, the following weeks; in the end was quite a long process even |
| 14 |
if I never missed any important packages. |

The reason is (I suppose) that portage use also the information it |
| 17 |
gathers from files in /etc/portage/ to determine what it is |
| 18 |
installed/upgradable, not only those from "world" file. |
