No, just do emerge sync on a routine basis. Then
emerge -uD system -p
and if you like what it will upgrade then let it go.
Then
emerge -uD world -p
and do the same. If you don't like what it will upgrade then upgrade the packages
listed individually. If there are updates to be done by etc-update DO NOT run
etc-update and let it do every update. Check the updates first to make sure it won't
mess up some files.
