Sync does update profiles, which includes removing old ones that are no
longer supported. I would't go as far as saying it "breaks everything",
after all, all you have to do is to set a new profile and emerge will work
happily again. Do run the next update with -N, though, as the use flags
included in the new profile may have changed versus the old one.
