Sabayon is just gentoo with a different installer, correct?
No, it's a binary distribution and a horrible mess.
So as long as you do your emerge sync && emerge -u world. you never need to install a new version, right?
That is about the most dangerous thing you can do on Sabayon - virtually guaranteed to break the system. It uses a mix of stable and testing with a huge list of packages in /etc/portage/package.keywords with ~arch. :( Any attempt to update the system the Gentoo way will lead to a tangle of blocks, upgrades, downgrades, package masks, etc. that can take a long time to sort out. At least that was how it was when I tried it. :(
