Someone running Gentoo in a production environment would not just blindly "emerge sync" and "emerge -Du world", they would first investigate all the updates and install what they needed. Someone would obviously notice a new baselayout and assume it might be worth emerging it seporatly to see if it gives any special directions (which this does). I don't think this will cause a huge issue for most people, but I do think it should be mentioned on Gentoo's website, I don't even see it in any GWN issues. What would be a better way?
