That warning box also says: "Furthermore, pkgcheck is imperfect (yet very fast) and may fail to notice some subtle breakages (especially if USE flag masking/forcing) is involved." Looks like the warning was added by mgorny in 2016 [1]. Have these issues with pkgcheck been fixed in the meantime?

Welcome to the team. Happy to see you here in Gentoo. First time I saw a cat describing a person, in that precise way.

[gentoo-dev] New Developer: WANG Xuerui (xen0n)
Hi all, It is my pleasure to announce the latest developer addition to our family: WANG Xuerui. Here is how he describes himself: "I'm a software developer from Shanghai, China, and a happy Gentoo user since 2011. Some of you may already know me via the loongson-overlay, ARCH=loong bringup patches, or the scattered MIPS bugs and patches over the years. I'm very glad to be able to join the Gentoo family and help making my favorite distro even better. I plan to first focus on bringing up ARCH=loong, generally improving the experience for Loongson hardware users, then use the expertise to help other ports as well. Hope my MIPS and RISC-V knowledge (and collection of hardware) will help!" We also reached out to his cat for comments and here is how his cat describes him: "Some humans describe Xuerui as a "multipotentialite", and he indeed has a diverse range of interests. When I am not utilizing the keyboard, he is allowed to lurk in various open-source projects and randomly review code/docs on the computer. When his services are no longer necessary, I allow him to enjoy playing rhythm games, attending live events, and hanging out with friends." Please give him a warm Gentoo welcome!
