20 This is just a heads-up for Gentoo users that got used to find
21 make.conf and make.profile under /etc in stages, that these files will
22 stop being there and will instead be under /etc/portage. So we are
23 changing the defaults.
24 About supporting the old way, that is beyond Releng and up to Portage
25 and maintainers of portage tools. I was told at least Portage has no
26 plan to drop support for /etc in the foreseeable future.
