A dedicated report of orphans that are installed, from ::gentoo, would |
| 10 |
probably help here. |

Because you can't directly assume orphans are "user wanted", but they |
| 13 |
*can* be. |

That's why its important during --depclean to read the output and |
| 16 |
re-add any to @world you need kept. |

If you never depclean, then you get to skip that step. |

( And I have *many* times added -1 to installation of something I |
| 21 |
wanted, out of habit, because I do so much manual hacking via emerge -1 |
| 22 |
that adding it is an impulse! ) |
