I agree...never ever use prune unless it is only removing something you WANT to remove that was installed in a new slot. The only times I've ever used it are to remove vanilla-sources-2.6.12.5 once I got

That's just 1 app. I'm sure there are others that would experience

1 (Traditional): delete the contents of /usr/portage/distfiles.
Already gone. I use http-replicator from my main rig. I do wish I
could tell emerge to delete them after it finishes compiling though.
