Good thing I asked. > Please check the migration instructions for profile 23 as provided in > the news item.

Thanks for the clarification. So my system is considered "split-usr", regardless of everything being on one partition. I got the news item when I ran "emerge --sync". My understanding is that step 1 in the news item says "Please also update your system fully and depclean before proceeding" so I should update world first. Since I'm currently on profile "default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib" then I should migrate to profile "default/linux/amd64/23.0/split-usr/no-multilib" as per the news item. Migrating from there to "default/linux/amd64/23.0/no-multilib" is a separate process as per the Gentoo wiki.
