I don't like this idea. As others have said here, it defeats the purpose of 
categories as app groups. Also, there are many ebuilds most users don't need/
want, but I wouldn't define them as litter. I don't see that -cvs ebuilds in 
various categories interfere with users in any way, and they make it easy to 
see which packages have -cvs counterparts and which only have -cvs versions, 
since they are listed together.

Finally, some of us write cvs ebuilds that don't have -cvs extensions :-)
