13 While the following reads somewhat smoother to me, maybe it's /just/ me,
14 so another opinion would be appreciated. The current wording is already
15 clear, so just going with it is fine with me.

18 Starting next week, new stages will locate make.conf and make.profile in
19 /etc/portage instead of /etc. This change to the installation defaults
20 only affects new systems and both locations will continue to be
21 supported. Whether you wish to move the files to their new /etc/portage
22 location is therefore entirely up to you.
