[gentoo-user] Portage?

[Bobby R. Cox]

Got this interesting message after emerging the new portage. 

portage: 'portage' user or group missing. Please update baselayout
        and merge portage user(250) and group(250) into your passwd
        and group files. Non-root compilation is disabled until then.
        For the defaults, line 1 goes into passwd, and 2 into group.
        portage:x:250:250:portage:/var/tmp/portage:/bin/false
        portage::250:portage

Why would this feature be added? Did I do something wrong?
