Who knows.  I've looked through my world file a few times but never found anything that didn't belong there.  With --oneshot being the default, I don't have to worry about forgetting to add -1 or anything.  It's there already.  There is on occasion a package I no longer use that I remove.  For some, especially those new to Gentoo, adding that --oneshot is a good move.  I've often wondered why it isn't the default.  Hope the advice helps someone.  Wish I had it way back then.  ;-) Dale :-)  :-)
