12 I'm not sure what the probability of people hurting themselves like this is. Perhaps it's a negligible corner case and a note in the upgrade guide will be enough to keep the vast majority of users on the right track. I'd hope that a user would be wise enough to read some docs prior to switching to a new profile with a potentially outdated version of portage.
