A dedicated report of orphans that are installed, from ::gentoo, would probably help here. Because you can't directly assume orphans are "user wanted", but they *can* be. That's why its important during --depclean to read the output and re-add any to @world you need kept. If you never depclean, then you get to skip that step. ( And I have *many* times added -1 to installation of something I wanted, out of habit, because I do so much manual hacking via emerge -1 that adding it is an impulse! )
