Seconded here, although I would think that /var/lib or such would be better. |

Reason being, world isn't really user-configurable. Previously, one could add |
| 14 |
packages to world and then do emerge world to get them all added. Conversely, |
| 15 |
one could (and still can) remove packages and then run depclean. However, now |
| 16 |
portage is smart enough to check world against actual installation and simply |
| 17 |
warn and skip over seemingly invalid entries. |
