Yeah I know most people do. But then all that emerge world will tell most 
people is something like "no new package since you emerged world one hour 
ago" :) But well, you mean that easily overlooked message at the top of the 
"emerge -vp world" listing, which is followed by about 3 screens of 
wonderfully coloured messages? I'm sure I wouldn't notice it if I was to 
merge world. Ok the normal gentoo user does probably not get so many 
updateable packages but then again, if you don't pretend before merging world 
you don't even get that message. And if I pretend without -v I don't get the 
message either. I'm on portage 2.0.54 if that makes any difference. If it is 
more noticeable in other portage versions then forget everything I said :)

This is the same kind of issue as the "but there was a message printed in 
pkg_postinst!!!11", that you can observe in the "who renamed 
adsl-start..."-thread.
