Don't worry, a lot of us learned that the hard way.

@module-rebuild is a dynamic set. It translates to "all the packages you
have emerged that install out-of-tree kernel modules"

So not really a fair comparison. Compare instead against a regular
static set - "a bunch of packages defined by you that go together and
live in /etc/portage/sets/"

Effectively, yes. That's not what the code does of course (they go into
world_sets) but the behaviour is as if the set was in world, and gets
added/removed as a complete unit

Apparently it does not. I know it does that for individual packages, so
I just assumed it did that for sets as well. I stand corrected.
