I was going to suggest similar. |

Though I hadn't thought about it at a global RESTRICT level, but I had |
| 11 |
envisioned that potentially, the redistribubility should be a property of a |
| 12 |
source file, not of en ebuild. |

|

For example, if there was something such as java, which would likely be |
| 15 |
mirror-restricted, it the java binaries themselves would be mirror |
| 16 |
restricted. |

However, if there were any tools/patches provided by gentoo and also in |
| 19 |
src_uri, marking them as no-mirror seems counter productive. |

Just the RESTRICT based interface seems more obvious, where as spicing |
| 22 |
SRC_URI values properly could be nuanced and complicated. |
