A bug regarding this issue has been filled:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134032

>From the current state of portage code, the patch in question while useful is
not necessary. Portage already defines in /usr/lib/portage/portage_const.py:

USER_CONFIG_PATH        = "/etc/portage"
EBUILD_SH_ENV_FILE      = USER_CONFIG_PATH+"/bashrc"

which is then used in /usr/lib/pym/portage.py:

mysettings["PORTAGE_BASHRC"] = EBUILD_SH_ENV_FILE

and consequently in /usr/lib/bin/ebuild.sh:

if [ -f "${PORTAGE_BASHRC}" ]; then
        source "${PORTAGE_BASHRC}"
fi

So, if the documentation is updated (and possibly advertized in next GWN), no
change (even small) is necessary.

And while I can voice my (user's) opinion, I *really* like the idea of forcing
the sane emerge environment by this one-liner. So in fact I'm torn apart...
