8 Why do you advise people to ignore the official gcc upgrade
9 documentation and potentially break their systems? Safely performing
10 the gcc upgrade *requires* an emerge -e world. Your system /might/
11 not break without that, and you are free to take that risk for your
12 systems, but please do *not* recommend that others take on such risks.

14 If you want to tell people your experiences, that's great, but be sure
15 to separate the "what is recommended" from "what worked for me".
