5 Argh, should we suffer the same issues over again? What about just dropping
6 the two/three/etc tier requirement and just go for arbitrary nestedness? So,
7 your example would become
8 app/admin/xselect
9 (plus we would have a tidier top-level of portage)
10 Its not like tree walker is prohibitively sophisticated piece of code..

12 NOTE: I am not proposing to do this now (considering how things go, such a
13 move is unrealistic to expect in any foreseeable future :)). However if we do
14 (eventually; right, if this is ever gonna happen), lets do it right, so that
15 we do not have to readdress the same issue over and over again..
