World should contain only those packages you explicitly want, not their |
| 15 |
dependencies. emerge world takes care of dependencies at varying levels |
| 16 |
depending on whether you use --deep, --update or neither, but you do not |
| 17 |
want them in world. Otherwise, when you unstall packages, you end u with |

lots of cruft that emerge --depclean will not identify. |
