It means you probably spent a lot of time compile gcc versions only to
carry on using the old version, but as you said, this wasn't about
efficiency. You were going to emerge -e @world at the end anyway, which
would get everything built with the latest toolchain.
As I remember, you always had to use eselect to switch versions ... and
witness all the chaos with python at the moment ...
If you leave things "at the default", doesn't that screw you over when
python/kernel/gcc etc upgrade and a depclean deletes your original
default version? Or is that now fixed so you can't mess things up that way?
