It's proved useful in an existing system too this weekend. One box hadn't been
updated for 9 months, and my usual update routine stumbled over lots of
blocks. So:
emerge -u @core (without D, notice),
emerge -u @system,
recompile the kernel,
emerge -u @world.
And now emerge -uaDvN @world is running with 190 packages to update.
Saved a reinstallation.
