8 Everything looks perfectly fine the way it is right now.
9 Changing stuff for the sake of changing stuff does nothing but
10 cause other people problems. Forcing a package moves which
11 incramentally makes doing package updates take longer and longer
12 over time. It also forces people to run fixpackages more than
13 they really should ever have to. Sometimes even causing a full
14 remerge of the package. Please just be happy that the packages all
15 exist and are being well maintained after.
