| 6 | I don't know whether you've heard, but PackageKit (a hard dependency of |
| 7 | udev as of 185, to allow automatic installation of the appropriate |
| 8 | firmware) no longer supports /usr/portage on its own partition. But |
| 9 | that's ok, because extensive studies have shown that the only possible |
| 10 | reasons for putting /usr/portage on its own partition are historical, |
| 11 | since everyone has an SSD now. |
