5 That isn't affected by our choice of /usr/kde or /opt. 10,000 PATH dirs
6 under /opt are equally as bad. So I don't see your point here? Is it that you
7 want to decrease the sheer amount of files in the /usr filesystem? As far as
8 I'm concerned, all portage-installed packages ought to go in /usr except for
9 those that go in /bin /lib etc; the usage of /opt has so far meant the
10 package was lacking in some respect.
