Will user created lists be located in the /etc/portage directory along with the other user configs? If so will the format be similar to the package.* files? For user package lists I imagine there could be the need to control version ranges, so the standard atoms should somehow apply.
Assuming this is directed at me: Set support will be more generic than just static package lists (think `emerge system`, `emerge security` or `emerge category`), they will be defined by python modules feeding the root nodes into the dep resolver. Static package lists would just be one such module, and you could have multiple different modules for different formats, so don't worry too much about being compatible to portage (I haven't thought much about syntax yet, though there will definitely be a "world"-module), if your implementation won't match the "default" list module provided by portage it will be easy to provide your own module (assuming your format can be translated to simple atoms).
