As long as an announcement is made in advance (perhaps as a NEWS item)
and portage itself is prepared to do an in-place migration if
necessary, I think things will be fine.
I do think it would be a wise idea to "grandfather" the current layout
for awhile.

I agree on this point, and I always found /usr/portage to be...well, strange.
For me, though, the most important issue is giving end users advanced
notice and making sure nothing breaks.
