You need better things to do. lol :-) When maintaining a Gentoo system, little and often usually take less time in the ling run. I get emailed the results of eix-test-obsolete, revdep-rebuild -p and a couple of other checks from each computer each week. Most weeks I just scan the mails and move on as nothing is reported.
