Yes they have. Remove anything in the least suspect and emerge -cp. Then
emerge -n anything listed that you need.
I don't know which ones I need, and I can't just remove them and cross
my fingers, because these are live servers.
There was a script floating around that created a new world file that
contained all installed packages that were not a dependency of another
installed package. It's not a perfect fix, but pretty close.
I gave a concrete example from one of our web servers where this would
remove something important.
