I was thinking about NOT doing the emerge -u world part. That would
skip updating everything that has updates applied on your system. Doing
just a emerge -u procmail would only update procmail and the
dependencies if any are needed.
Keep in mind, you can upgrade packages as needed without updating the
whole system. I wouldn't recommend this long term tho. Those upgrades
can add up pretty quick and come back to bite you later. Going longer
than a month or two on a Gentoo system without a update is not
recommended.
