I keep everything in my dev-space I ever put in an ebuild that landed in our official portage tree. Of course this only works as long as you reference that place in the affected ebuilds. Once you go the route to use mirror://gentoo in ebuilds as SRC_URI people are screwed as soon as the ebuild vanishes from portage. I'd love to see this (mis-)behavior being more vigorously discouraged in Gentoo-land...
