I recently bumped nvidia-drivers for Entropy against all kernels and wasn't
aware that 387.XX is actually a beta version. Just followed what was done
on our overlay:

https://github.com/Sabayon/sabayon-distro/commit/f79f1cf16b1c4d1be390823271710ed73bdae83c

@Francesco any thoughts?

I must say that I didn't have any problems with them on my gaming laptop.
We hopefully have a newer zfs version available in Entropy, one that also
supports the 4.14 kernel that is currently in Limbo.

@Ettore should have a say about efivar 0.21 -> 31 && efibootmgr 0.12 -> 15.
I don't touch them. Same goes for sys-boot/grub.

No opinion about Samba here. If we wanna bump this prior to "the release"
let me know and I will take care off it.
