8 This is expected. The point is that emerge -ep system wants to rebuild
9 everything in your system target, and emerge -ep world wants to rebuild
10 everything in your world target. I'm not suggesting that you actually
11 do so, hence the -p (pretend). What I'm saying is that these lists
12 should not change BEFORE and AFTER the profile change. If they do, then
13 I made some mistake. I tested on my test systems, but since there are
14 so many possible combinations of USE flags and packages, I thought I'd
15 get community feedback too.
