I thought about that too. Everything works right now so I could go a
little while without a update. However, we all know what happens if you
go to long without updating Gentoo. A couple things pop up that bite
you hard. With my luck, there would be a dozen or so. One that comes
to mind is expat. It's not often but it can be fun when you have
several at a time.
