Yup. We based the PMS wording upon the Portage documentation and the commit message that introduced the feature, both of which explicitly say it's only for /etc/portage/ use, not tree use. Portage's support for directories like that in the tree is an undocumented fluke caused by using the same code for user and tree configuration parsing without adding extra strictness checks for the tree. -- Ciaran McCreesh
