make.conf man page mistake?

"Enable portage support for the ccache package. If the ccache dir is not
present in the user's environment, then portage will default to
${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/ccache (with userpriv) and to /root/.ccache otherwise."

I hope that last path is not accurate, as I would expect it to be root's
${HOME}/.ccache, not /root/.ccache, as I none of our systems have a /root (we
use /home/root).

Cheers,

I DO have a /root directory, never heard of /home/root.

Hi,
docs-team doesn't manage manpages. You should direct further feedback to
the maintainer of the package in question.

Yup, it is ~root/.ccache, but Gentoo uses /root for root's $HOME by default.
