Change the /etc/make.profile symlink or use eselect profile.

2008 hasn't been released yet. Switch to 2007.0 for now, then it will be
less of a change when 2008.0 is released.

Hmmm.  I may have read this latest post just in time.  My system contains
/usr/portage/profiles/default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop and I had just linked
/etc/make.profile to it and synced up.  I was about to emerge world -- it was
going to rebuild 124 packages (a lot of kde stuff for one thing).

I think I'll go back to 2007 for now....

The question: if it hasn't been released, what is this profile doing on my
system, and how am I supposed to know?
