Ah well, having the sets in the wrong place would give me an error.
And regarding portage version, weren't sets included in v. 2.x.x? My

No, sets appear starting in portage v2.2. And yes, the whole 2.2
series is hard-masked. The stated reason is so that the 2.1 test
versions will actually get some testing.
Opinions over precisely how silly it is to test old, being-obsoleted
versions in deference to new, enhanced versions vary and can be found
in the list archives.
Most unstable users have probably unmasked sys-apps/portage long ago
and moved into the future.

I'll second that. I'm using portage-2.2_rc61 and it has been working
fine. If you want, you could always unmask that specific version. I
just unmask and keyword portage and so far, I haven't had any portage
problems. I do get the latest features tho. ;-)
