No, I'm still running 2008.0. |

It doesn't. Switching profiles mainly changes a few default USE flags. |
| 17 |
Only a few packages are recompiled by emerge --newuse and none of those |
| 18 |
are "required". The most you have customised your USE flags, the less |
| 19 |
will be changed by the profile switch. |

There is no beta profile. The install discs based on 2008.0 are still in |
| 24 |
beta, but the profiles are plain 2008.0. It's really no big deal whether |
| 25 |
you use an 07 or 08 profile. |
