If I emerge something and want to keep around, I use the --select y
option which overrides the -1 option in make.conf.  Sometimes I install
something, play with it and don't like it and then let --depclean remove
it.  If I emerge something and like it, I can use --select y -n to add
it to world, without compiling it again. 

The key thing, remembering to force it to be added to world, which is a
lot easier than remembering to use -1 for ALL those things I don't want
in the world file.  Before I added the -1 option, my world file was full
of all sorts of things that have no business being there at all.  It was
causing huge problems with upgrades and such. 

I just use what works for me.  Some may not like doing it this way but
some might.
