Why not just update the source and do a buildworld in the native
environment? You can either do it before every release snapshot
or like me, when it seems necesary. This way I save a few cycles.

One reason why it isn't that useful inside the chroot area, is that
if your running kernel and the newly built bits gets too much out of
sync you will need to update the machine in any case, so you will
end up with "new" binaries and a kernel on the machine and so it
is a "waste" to recompile world inside the chroot area.

Just my 2 bits. (I'm not on RE, but have two machines building a
-stable and -current snap every night.)
