  1. you shouldn't change anything about it unless you are using custom overlays or layman or planning to use them in future the way old instruction was results in /etc/portage/repos.conf directory to be a link to /var/git/meta-repo, thats then makes a custom overlays inside /var/git/meta-repo, which is not the good place. new instruction makes a distinct repos.conf configuration, the one to point to portage tree (meta-repo), rest can be any custom overlay. i believe better solution to it now added into unreleased version of ego.

  2. this is not intuitive to users, the time you can remove the uses can be the time those uses are no longer present in ebuilds or you don't need them. the first case can be determined when portage will give you a following message during emerge -auDN 

    app-foo/bar (-use%), that means this use is no longer present (removed)

    personally i trying to avoid using package.use too much and rely on what is enabled by default in profiles.
