15 I must have missed where you ran emerge -e @world. Oops. :)
16
17 But, yes, there are packages which don't belong to @system or @world.
18 @world consists of things you've explicitly asked for. @system consists
19 of things that are deemed inherently necessary for system operation.
20
21 Neither necessarily contains things like x11-libs/libX11, which may be
22 pulled in as a dependency of something in @world or @system (depending
23 on USE flags, etc). Various python modules would also not be found in
24 either @world or @system. @system and @world are explicit
25 statements...there are still the dependencies to worry about.
26
27 But if you ran emerge -e @world, the -e would have picked those up.
