The Gentoo Release Engineering project is pleased to announce the much-delayed release of Gentoo Linux 2007.0, code named 'Secret Sauce'. This release met with several delays due to an abnormally high number of security vulnerabilities in large packages which had to be rebuilt using the newer, secure versions of the packages. Update: Screenshots!

That's not even remotely true.
Updating your profile will typically not change a thing with the possible exception of you modifying /etc/make.conf to reflect changes in use flags. If use flags are unchanged in the profiles updating the profile will do nothing. And if it does something you won't have to compile much - unless you haven't updated in a while (e.g. many months not including the sparse security updates).
For me upgrading from 2006.1 to 2007.0-desktop made no difference except I could remove a few use flags in /etc/make.conf. Nothing needs to be recompiled.
