on gentoo for example I have accrued a few files under /etc/portage that to my knowledge just have to live there…

right now I basically rely on my backups for this. but maybe somebody knows a clever way to handle this?

    right, for system files I do the minimal approach only select a handful that I wish to keep, so the tree is easy to search into. A system equivalent to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME would be nice though.
