Any system that is not getting software updates is broken to some degree,
just in a subtle way.
Trimming your /var/lib/portage/world file and removing the trimmed packages
can make the update less painful. I sometimes remove non-system packages I
want, then reinstall again later to get through difficult upgrades.
