Ok
so I'm still on 4.7.3; but if I set 4.8.3
as the default, should I rebuild @system ?

I saw the news item about 4.8.3-SSP, which I think is a good idea, but
how deeply, if at all, do I need to rebuild packages ?
You don't need to rebuild, although there are known problems with having
both 4.7 and 4.8 installed, and having 4.7 be the active one (or any
case where an older version is the active one.)
You should be able to just switch to 4.8 without rebuilding anything.
That's what I did. Of course it can't hurt to rebuild everything, but
you can schedule that for later (like an overnight rebuild of @world
with --keep-going). It's not critical to do it immediately.
