Subject: /usr/portage --> /var/portage

Hi all!

I just wanted to ask: can we expect, in future versions of a Gentoo Linux, a 
move of /usr/portage to /var/portage as the most appropriate place to store 
frequently changing portage tree? 

I guess, it (Gentoo) would then suit most admins, willing to have a Gentoo 
Linux on their servers (I use Gentoo on my servers :-P). Because, for 
example, in my case, I have /usr always mounted ro (read-only) in fstab, 
remounting it rw (read-write) for critical updates only (when I emerge some 
new apps; e.g. security updates)

How does it intersect with FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard)?

Thank you very much!

With the best regards,

Meder
