14 It was already proposed, but didn't seem to get much support. It is equivalent
15 to using the suffixes, but I see it rather as perfomarnce hit, not
16 improvement. The package manger would have to look for ebuilds in the main
17 dir and all the subdirs in case it doesn't have/can't use the cache.
