With debian when you do a dist-upgrade and go for a pint you come back and
it works.  I can see attempting to do the same thing in gentoo is like the
bsd makeworld thing.  Called make world not because it rebuilds everything
but because it starts of black and 7 days later you have a usable system
but can't remember why you wanted it and take the day off.
