Hmm .. just curious what makes you say that.  I'm not disagreeing, just
curious what your reasons are.

I upgrade with "emerge -u world && revdep-rebuild && prelink -amfh"
unless the toolchain changes in some major way I feel like chewing up
some resources in which case I have a third-party script that rebuilds
just the toolchain (twice) and there are options to rebuild the rest of
the system with the new toolchain (which I used when I upgraded from a
k6-2 to an athlon-xp, and I was surprised to find an actual noticeable
improvement).
