Should that be 'emerge -e system && emerge -e world' ? |

As one of the "masses", I am certainly disturbed at that implication. |

I don't remember any such need when I upgraded 2.9.5 -> 3.x (now 3.3.6). |
13 |
This is the kind of issue on which I trust the devs to do sensible things, |
14 |
but do we really need to rebuild our whole systems from the ground up ? |

Ordinarily, I upgrade packages individually when it seems appropriate |
17 |
& never do 'emerge world' with or without '-e' or other flags; |
18 |
I do 'esync' every weekend & look at what is marked as having changed. |

I would very much appreciate a doc somewhere |
21 |
which explains the advantages of moving to 3.4 |
22 |
& why a wholesale ground-up rebuild is necessary, if indeed it is. |
23 |
As always, my thanks to those who do the volunteer work. |
