Antarus, an user who has read the whole installation handbook and is new to the distro should by then have a lot of new ideas in mind to direct them to man pages written in a more technical way creating even more confusion. Add to to that any search on how to update / upgrade Gentoo and you will find the same set of commands almost always: $ emerge -u world $ emerge -uD world With no references to other parameters at all. Which can make users assume that it is a safe default. If you look in the docs I provided you'll see it is the case.
