I've always myself override these defaults in make.conf to point for

I would say let's work on that so that portage can keep them there.
Although I'm more for /var/cache/portage myself, as both distfiles and
tree can be re-generated.
With this change distfiles and packages could be moved to a directory
which is not a subdir of portage. Something like
/var/cache/{portage,distfiles,packages}
or
/var/cache/portage/{tree,distfiles,packages}
since the file types and storage requirements are so different. At least
I prefer not to have too many filesystems mounted inside each other.
