these two things simply dont make sense to tie together. profiles control the |
| 14 |
default configuration for your system (USE flags / build flags / etc...) while |
| 15 |
portage is a package manager. version changes in the package manager dont |
| 16 |
directly relate in any way to the default configuration the user has selected. |
