It was a baselayout change. If you'd checked all the changes you would
have seen much of the stuff has moved to /etc/conf.d files. For example,
rc.conf is stripped down but the items that were there are now in files in
/etc/conf.d.

I just ran "emerge sync" and "emerge --ask --deep --update --world"

few more items than usual, even though I do update every week or so.
After the update, I saw a message about approximately 40 config files
needing updates... OUCH. Given what I've seen so far in the first 3 or
4, I'm tempted to throw out the rest, sight unseen. rc.conf is totally
stripped down, and probably defaults galore. Is UTC (rather than local)
the default? I don't want it. I've also set 10-pixel high fonts on
640x480 text consoles (VGA=6) to give a crisp 84x48 display that's much
nicer than VGA 80x50 with crummy 8-pixel-high fonts. The default is 16
pixels, giving 80x30 on a 19" CRT, wasting screen space. I've also set
inittab to give me 10 text consoles, with X showing up on tty11 and log
messages on tty12. I don't want to drop back to the default 6 consoles.
I am grateful that my current configs weren't overwritten, but I would
still like to know what hit me.
