How would you comment the following quote from Gentoo Handbook
"In most situations, /usr/ is to be kept big: not only will it contain
  the majority of applications, it typically also hosts the Gentoo ebuild
  repository (by default located at /var/db/repos/gentoo) which already
  takes around 650 MiB."
that can be found here:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Disks ?

Have I correctly understood that the Gentoo ebuild repository default location
is /var/db/repos/gentoo but virtually everybody relocate it to /usr/ during
the installation process?

Why not change its default location to /usr/ in this case?

Where the Gentoo ebuild repository should be allocated? Why?
