The safest approach is to remove from /var/lib/portage/world any programs you do not want. Then run emerge -uadVN world emerge -p depclean # check output of above emerge depclean revdep-rebuild -p revdep-rebuild > Why not remove gentoo-user and instead add more lists like > gentoo-install, or whatever else.

Because many topics are too general for that.You question could apply to servers, desktop, amd64, ppc et al. A catch all group is necessary. Splitting a list generally results in more posts, since the same threads end up on more than one list. -- Neil Bothwick I distinctly remember forgetting that.
