The "Upgrading your System" section omits revdep-reconf.
I suggest to remove the useless code example "emerge --update --deep world"
because that can be safely replaced by the following "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" and possibly remake the whole chapter in the style
"To upgrade your system, just type
emerge sync
emerge -u --newuse --deep world
revdep-rebuild, and don't ask why. If you want to know why, then it's because
we suffer from autism and we intentionally refuse to write one system_upgrade
script that would type these complicated commands for you. Sorry, autistic people cannot imagine the others can have different experience and thinking
than themselves. See the Wikipedia article on autism for more information
why the system upgrade has to be so complicated. "

Before filing a bug, do a basic research at least, so that you don't actually suggest crap like non-existant revdep-reconf command. 

Thanks.
