No!  --depclean is evil!  :))  (and/or my system is borked).

It tells me to remove dev-python/pycrypto, when portage seems to depend on it:

# equery depends dev-python/pycrypto      
[ Searching for packages depending on dev-python/pycrypto... ]
sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.4 (!build? >=dev-python/pycrypto-2.0.1-r6)

Also, it tells me to remove hdparm-8.6.  I noticed that there is a 8.7 version 
available, but emerge -uDv world does not pick this up . . .  why would that 
be so?

# emerge -upDv hdparm

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
