Why would I need to emerge world? Portage knows the full list of packages
that depend on openssl, transitively.

Unless you're generalizing to say that (almost) everything depends on

Also, didn't the handbook, at one point, say not to sync portage more than
once a day? So why would package installations happen 20 times per day?
