All, I know this has come up before, but I don't really recall what the specific objections were.
IMO the portage directory doesn't belong under /usr at all. I was chatting with another developer who uses /var/cache/portage/{tree,distfiles}, and I'm thinking about switching my default setup to do this. I realize that historically the portage tree has been installed under /usr, but Can we consider changing this default for new installations and providing instructions for users for how to get the portage tree out of /usr?
