This variable will be used in eclasses so it's better to avoid portage in it's name, since not only portage will work with it. GENTOO_JOBS is really something new in sense of consistency. EJOBS looks most terse for me but I'll be ok with any name... For load average may be it's good to use another variable to avoid overloading of "JOBS" meaning? --=20 Peter.
