The thing is, Gentoo is more than a bunch of ebuilds. Certainly |
| 9 |
they're a HUGE part of Gentoo, but they alone aren't Gentoo. |

In some sense you could have ebuilds/gentoo.git but then what happens |
| 12 |
when you clone ebuilds/gentoo.git, website/gentoo.git, and so on? |
| 13 |
Namespaces are useful to prevent accidental collisions, and for |
| 14 |
organization, but without getting too crazy with the names I think it |
| 15 |
is best off when the final name stands on its own reasonably well. |

It doesn't have to be gentoo-main, but I would prefer to see it not |
| 18 |
just be "Gentoo." |
