Yes, I can see the benefit of a tag paradigm. I, myself, find it more |
| 7 |
trouble than benefit to have the extra directory level. I often do "cd |
| 8 |
/usr/portage/*/foo" to get to the foo package, and it often gets a hit |
| 9 |
in licenses or elsewhere that trips up this practice... |

Ah yes, CVS would present a problem here. I suppose if/when the whole |
| 16 |
tree is converted to svn, at that point moves would be more practical. |

Too bad, though, that this has become a barrier to the ability to change |
| 18 |
a category easily and without losing the history. |
