etc-update does the job, but looks a little dated to me. I prefer dispatch-
conf. My favorite at the moment is cfg-update, which is even better at
guessing which updates can be automated. It also supports three-way merges,
which probably means it not only takes the current and the new version of a
config file into account, but also old versions.

I don't know it stable portage already has this feature, but at least
portage-2.2 has a set called module-rebuild. So I just do an emerge
@modules-rebuild. Oh, and instead of emerge $( qlist -IC x11-drivers/ ) one
can use emerge @x11-module-rebuild. This one is needed when xorg-server was
upgraded.
