Yep.

What's this? Nm.. I checked your page. ;)

I think this point is a bit unclear. What the feature does is runs a package's 
make check by default or uses the ebuild's pkg_check function if defined. 
This runs in between src_compile and src_install. So.. it's more of a feature 
that confirms a successful compile rather than a successful merge.

You forgot massive speedups! Dependency calculation time is about 33% that of 
2.0.50. :)
