+# Set this variable to a custom umask. This is intended to be set by users.
+# By setting this to something like 002, it can make life easier for people
+# who do development as non-root (but are in the portage group), and then
+# switch over to building with FEATURES=userpriv. Or vice-versa. Shouldn't
+# be a security issue here as anyone who has portage group write access
+# already can screw the system over in more creative ways.
