What about setups where portage tree is mounted via NFS to reduce traffic and disk space? FHS states[1] that /var/cache is *locally* generated. Which aould not be the case for such setups... I prefer /var as well, but I am not such if /var/cache would be the right place... [1] >From FHS 2.3: "/var/cache is intended for cached data from applications.
