Yes, which is why the emerge man page states |

|
| 7 |
--prune (-P) |

WARNING: This action can remove important packages! Prune |
| 9 |
looks at each installed package and attempts to remove all |
| 10 |
but the most recently installed version. Prune ignores |
| 11 |
slots, if you require a slot-aware Prune use emerge --clean. |
| 12 |
Prune may inadvertently remove important packages from your |
| 13 |
system. Use --clean instead unless you really know what |
| 14 |
you're doing. |

No. In particular the toolchain. GNOME and X work quite happily without |
| 19 |
slotted packages in general. |
