Dunno. Sounds pretty smart to me ;). I've recently scripted the emerge sync, but I always leave the actual emerge -uD world until I've seen what needs to be done (eg. Java needed to be updated recently. I'd like to see a script to do that properly...). Some things just need to be handled by someone who's actually looked at the output.
