1 As per glep 42 (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0042.html) here
2 is the required email for a new news item. This news item is important
3 because otherwise users will be missing updates to the system set if
4 they continue updating their system with the usual emerge --update
5 --deep world. Unless objections come out the new news item will be
6 committed at the same time as rc8 (rc8 will have an update man portage
7 page describing world_sets).

18 As of Portage 2.2 the world set does not include the system
19 set any more. If you want emerge --update --deep @world to
20 update the system set too, you need to add @system to the new
21 world_sets file in /var/lib/portage/. For more information on
22 world_sets see man portage.
