1 I agree with Wyatt's point.

3 Wouldn't there be an easy way to reset the last access date on all of the
4 files to say 1/1/2009 on a system then execute a relatively robust
5 multi-user boot (and maybe a world emerge upgrade) and record which files
6 are actually used during that process, then determine which package they
7 belong to and label those with some "level of criticality"?
8
9 Its probably also true that this list of files could be part of a "critical
10 system backup" that one could just keep around in a bz2 file for fast
11 recoveries (or even as md5sum's to determine when they might have been hosed
12 by disk errors or viruses) -- or is this something that is already done by
13 some of the selinux options? [I've never used selinux so am unsure of
14 everything it does.]
