At this time, @installed tends to trigger unsolvable blockers during updates [1], so it's not really usable for general purpose updates unless you want users to go back to the days of solving blocker by themselves even though the package manager is capable of doing it automatically. Also, @installed pulls in slot atoms just for the installed slots, so it won't pull in new slots like un-slotted atoms would. [1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387059 -- Thanks, Zac
