How about we just ignore ciaranm because he's got no valid complaints or objections to this particular portage behavior as shown in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273261#c28. Relevant portion excerpted here for your convenience: "Additionally, in http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/portage/main/trunk/pym/portage.py?rev=3495&view=markup (hint: look for "recursive=1") and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133740, with both predating the initial RFC for PMS sent to gentoo-dev mailing list, this behavior is discussed and shown to be a design feature, not a flaw or lack of QA in portage. This proves with certainty that it is PMS and the views of the reporter of this bug that are flawed, and not the behavior of portage." Problem solved.
