Probably there's no real problem but I think in my recent machines if
I've chosen the KDE profile and try something like emerge -Cp kde-meta
then there are lots of warning messages about how I'm removing parts
of @system. It's unlikely (in my mind anyway) that anything would be
removed that stops one from doing the 4.6 emerge, but if one goes this
way they should look very carefully at what's getting taken out just
to make sure.
