I don't know that this is true. I've had the same set of use flags
configured on all of my Gentoo computers for 5-ish years now, and I've
only very rarely messed with them. For the most part, running
"eix-sync && emerge --update --newuse --deep @world" once a week has
allowed me to have unattended upgrades for many months at a time, only
needing to adjust one or two things every several months. Needing to
tweak something is my exception, not my rule.
+1. That's a core point to me. An update once a week and adjusting USE
flags (down) to the _real_ requirements makes multiple Gentoo
installations long term stable.
Happy compiling :-)
