8 Portage should have been warning such users about using a deprecated
9 profile for some time now. So, they should have updated to a new
10 profile by now. Surely most people have synced portage sometime recently
11 and done an emerge -uD world. If somebody is using a portage snapshot
12 from two years ago, they have more problems than a deprecated profile.

14 You do realize that for the most part, gentoo versions don't mean very
15 much, right? A gentoo install is as current as the portage tree, no
16 matter what installer was used.
