4 It actually isn't that important to stay abreast of the newest
5 profiles. If you actually look at the profile, you'll see three
6 files. One of them is packages, which just specifies the minimum
7 versions for a couple packages (in this case baselayout, binutils,
8 gcc, and glibc). The other imporant one is make.defaults which just
9 specifies the default USE flags, which are overriden by any changes
10 you have in make.conf. Probably the only thing that will change if
11 you move to a new profile is you *might* get some new default USE
12 flags, but since you probably have quite a few of your in in make.conf
13 this probably won't even change anything. Also, the settings in
14 make.conf rarely change from version to version.
