But if you upgrade to 10.0.1, as I did today, you'll find things have changed.
At least, I did.

You can get rid of a few of those with

sys-auth/elogind -policykit
sys-auth/pambase elogind

in package.use, if you don't need whatever it is that policykit does.

I assume you're on unstable?

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" USE="-doc -libffi -ncurses emerge -pv =sys-devel/llvm-10.0.1

...does indeed pull in sphinx. If I didn't know any better, I'd say
that Lennart is behind this. Anyhow, I've managed to avoid llvm
altogether (USE="-llvm"), so I don't have that problem.

As in most other Sphinx-utilising packages, it is listed in the BDEPEND
variable, meaning that it is only required during the building of the package
[1]. If `emerge -c` isn't removing what you would expect, try something like
`emerge -cv dev-python/sphinx` to see the explicit reverse-dependencies blocking
the removal.

I don't have that option, as my video card driver requires llvm.

I think you might find sphinx is a dependency of the kernel ...

Iirc all of the kernel doc is slowly being switched to sphinx.
