Well the main reason is because profiles will disappear from portage |
| 5 |
after a certain amount of time, and you can't really run without a |
| 6 |
profile!! |

The main effects changing the profile has for an existing install are: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1. Updates to default USE flags and masks. |
| 11 |
2. Updates to make.defaults |
| 12 |
3. Updates to virtual package defaults. |
| 13 |
4. Updates to the system package set, or minimum versions of the |
| 14 |
system packages. |

Changing the profile can sometimes cause a lot of updates, changes to |
| 19 |
use flags, features, etc, so no, it is not done automatically. |

Generally after changing the make.profile link, you will want to do an |
| 21 |
"emerge -DNuvp world" to see what changed. |
