should - not must have to survive. And nothing in /var/tmp/portage is
important enough. So just let it get lost.

I would not put PORTAGE_TMPDIR to /tmp because if it accidentally fills up,
you have a big problem. While a seperate tmpfs /var/tmp/portage... well
nobody cares if it is full. Yeah, emerge fails but that's it.
