I just downgraded portage from 2.0.47-r2 to 2.0.46-r12.
etc-update lists 1)/etc/make.globals
Now I know we are not supposed to edit make.globals and
don't ever recall seeing it come up in etc-update. We should
edit make.conf instead to make changes in make.global.

As you can see most of the changes are minor. FEATURES is
commented in my make.conf. I just use the system defaults. RSYNC_TIMEOUT
can be simply commented as well. That leaves only the header line to
change.Should
I replace the original make.globals with the new one or just edit
make.conf and
forget about the header?
