Ah well, having the sets in the wrong place would give me an error. And regarding portage version, weren't sets included in v. 2.x.x? My portage version is 2.1.7.16, anything above seems to be hardmasked...
No, sets appear starting in portage v2.2. And yes, the whole 2.2 series is hard-masked. The stated reason is so that the 2.1 test versions will actually get some testing.
Opinions over precisely how silly it is to test old, being-obsoleted versions in deference to new, enhanced versions vary and can be found in the list archives.
Most unstable users have probably unmasked sys-apps/portage long ago and moved into the future.
