We have generated a new set of profiles for Gentoo installation. These are now
called 13.0 instead of 10.0. Everyone should upgrade as soon as possible (but
please make sure sys-apps/portage is updated to current stable *before* you
switch profile).
This brings (nearly) no user-visible changes. Some new files have been added
to the profile directories that make it possible for the developers to do more
fine-grained use flag masking (see PMS-5 for the details), and this formally
requires a new profile tree with EAPI=5.
In the course of this change, the "server" profiles will be removed; they do
not exist in the 13.0 tree anymore. You should migrate to the corresponding
parent profile. This may change the default value of some use-flags. The
specific setting in "server" was 
  USE="-perl -python snmp truetype xml"
You may want to check the setting of these flags after switching profile, but
otherwise nothing changes.
