I don't know about there being a manual but one way is to have etc-update
show you the differences - that shows what's being taken out and what's
added. Second look through the files in /etc/conf.d of which there are
many new ones. In etc-update you can do an interactive merge which lets

That and full backups. A good idea, folks. Can save a lot of trouble.

I personally would even prefer a different naming scheme.
If the files would been named something like
$name$date
it would be much more easy to catch all config files by doing
a
ls -l [$name]*
Just my two cents.
I just ran emerge sync and emerge --ask --deep --update --world
on my main machine and on my hot backup machine. There seemed to be a
few more items than usual, even though I do update every week or so.
After the update, I saw a message about approximately 40 config files
needing updates...
It was a baselayout change. If you'd checked all the changes you would
have seen much of the stuff has moved to /etc/conf.d files. For example,
rc.conf is stripped down but the items that were there are now in files in
/etc/conf.d.
