I've been going through this lately also (mainly due to forgetting -1 on updates) and put together a script, which I can post later if anyone wants. However, the bottom line for me is to do "emerge -pc package" for each package in world to see what (if anything) else pulled it in. If it was pulled in by something else, I remove it from the world file, unless I explicitly want it installed. The script just does most of that, producing a file that makes it easier for me to see what -pc would remove and what is actually installed.
Interesting concept and methodology. I'll have to pontificate that.
Currently my world file is 292 lines, with 1863 packages installed (from "eix-installed -a".)

I'm not going to even try regenworld, as I'm in the midst of converting to the 17.1 profile, and have quite a number of packages that don't yet seem to cope with that change well.
Fair. I'm not thinking about the 17.0 to 17.1 migration yet. I'm wondering what, if anything I need to do to clean up gcc: % gcc-config -l [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-6.4.0 * [2] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-8.2.0 [3] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-8.3.0 I seem to remember going from older /to/ 6.4 being a bit touchy. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
