Though it's rare, it sometimes needs a personal touch if something
breaks during updates. As long as you read your output to keep your
config files updated, it should work.
Myself I just run
emerge sync
emerge -pu world
Then decide when I want to update. Sometimes I'll just update a few
parts for now and update the rest later.
