7 It is not only about non-deletion. It is also about updating.
8 Suppose that you have installed openrc and systemd, and only one of it
9 is in @world (or depends on something from @world).
10 Then emerge -NaDu @world won't update the other init-system - it becomes
11 stale and might even have security bugs which are not fixed.
12 That's why detecting that depclean would remove it is actually a good
13 thing: It shows that something is not configured as you intended.
