Except that this will break with portage 2.1:

        ewarn "This series contains a completely rewritten caching framework."
        ewarn "If you are using any cache modules (such as the CDB cache"
        ewarn "module) portage will not work until they have been disabled."
        ewarn "For reference, they are configured at /etc/portage/modules."
        echo
        einfo "The default cache format has changed beginning with this"
        einfo "version. Before using emerge, run \`emerge --metadata\` to"
        einfo "restore portage's local cache."
