That would be counting posts, not people. It just hasn't been discussed. |

Yeah but this isn't about performance (or so I heard. I took that to mean it |
| 26 |
was about ebuilds which can't be sourced, but you might want to check |
| 27 |
exactly what McCreesh meant, since I am apparently incapable of |
| 28 |

Given that, the subdirectories would do the job fine, and end-users don't |
| 31 |
have to worry about building the cache anyway. |
