Rebuild for 17.0 - is it necessary for hardened profiles

The reason I've heard for rebuilding after 17.0 update is to pick the new PIE default. However as I was already on hardened profile my ~amd64 systems are already built with this flag. Is there any reason for emerge -e world on my system or would it be pure waste of energy?

Waste of energy.

I noticed that switching from hardened/linux/amd64 to default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened changed some use flags... I had to add the berkdb and gdbm flags to my USE to make up for the change.
