For the most part, no. |

Almost every kde4 package (libs, apps, plugins, and more) got updated |
| 12 |
for KDE% and many were pkgmv'ed around to new categories. So 288 sounds |
| 13 |
like the right ballpark from memory. |

I found that the kde ebuild maintainers did a really good job with this, |
| 16 |
and virtually every upgrade went smooth for me. The KDE4 apps I still |
| 17 |
have (amarok, k3b, etc) have their DEPENDs correct so depclean tends to |
| 18 |
be correct as is, including the plasma SLOTs. |

If your world file is in good condition I recommend you let portage |
| 21 |
clean what it wants to. In the unlikely evnt the devs missed something, |
| 22 |
you can always emerge a missing package or two back. |
