I'm interested in what the DEFAULTS are, ie, for a new/from scratch

Why?
While I'm not sure why it matters to you, it is because I have a policy
that I never change the defaults for anything without a (good) reason.
If ever there was a distro for people that didn't want to use
defaults, Gentoo is it.
True, but irrelevant to my question...
Someone had to decide the defaults - so, what are they? Anyone?
I installed a VM a couple of weeks ago and I'm sure portage was still
in /usr. It's easy enough to tell, unpack a stage 3 and see where the
portage directory lives, but the handbook still refers to /usr/portage.
So you're saying Alan was wrong about /var being the new default...
Alan?
