I use depclean after every update of world for the past 5 years and never had any disaster... I always thought the warnings (which have been toned down since then) were a bit FUD-inspiring. Either I am really lucky or other people are doing something wrong. :) I guess if you don't understand the concept of the world file you could really get into a mess... With the latest portage versions and preserved-rebuild option, even revdep-rebuild has really become obsolete. I can't remember the last time I had to run it. Latest portage deals well with blockers and automatically resolving them when possible. Error messages when USE flags are blocking and things like that are much more clear now than in the old days. Honestly I am more satisfied with Gentoo now than ever before. The addition of above features, and layman with the vast array of overlays, really bleeding-edge stuff, it seems like everything I need is here. Thanks to all developers for doing a good job. :)
