Portage doesn't remove files from /etc and should never touch any home |
| 27 |
directory. As far as I know, portage never puts anything in a home |
| 28 |
directory either. You have to clean out /etc and home directories yourself. |

Portage does do a good job of removing all the other files tho. If it |
| 31 |
puts it there, it will remove it if you unmerge a package. |
