Actually, users in the portage group can "emerge --fetchonly" without
"--pretent". Also, they can:
rm -rf /usr/portage
(Or whatever the portage directory is set to.)
This might depend on other settings in FEATURES, not sure. But here,
/usr/portage and everything in it belongs to user portage and group portage.
