  1. I just want to say that gentoo-sources, that is not the LTS version which is currently 4.19 series, is basically mainline and all sorts of bad things can happen or regressions/corruptions/data loss is at a much greater percentage of being introduced. Breakage of nvidia-drivers/modules being a big one. Also you're following a kernel series that *will* be updated at least once a week if not more.Other patchsets have much better hardware support, backporting, bugfixes, and out of tree inclusions that really make the quality of life better all around for a normal linux user. Just my two cents.

  2. Yeah, might be a good idea to file an improvement request to add to profiles. If you're not using any type of LUKS or encrypted root or home etc, you could always add -static to cryptsetup in package.use. Maybe a cool idea to add a new mix-in for all this, to go along with the documentation that needs upgraded ? There is an open bug for this maybe I'll add to it.
