On my recent new rig build, once I installed everything from the world file from my old system, I added that option to make.conf. Why that tip isn't in the install guide surprises me. A lot of people while trying to get emerge past a block or something ends up with entries in the world file that shouldn't be there, especially libs or packages with versions. It shouldn't be the default by any means but toward the end of the install guide, I think it deserves a mention and when to add it. Most of my upgrades go fairly smoothly. One reason for that, nothing is in the world file unless it really needs to be there. I can't add something by mistake. Yep. Good idea. Sad a lot of people don't know to add that at the right time.
