If I were faced with doing this manually I know the first thing I'd do |
| 9 |
is run quickpkg on the affected packages. Maybe something could be |
| 10 |
done with that (though quickpkg is not part of @system). |

However, in general big moves like this are never going to be easy to |
| 13 |
recover from. If you have sed scripts cleaning up config files or |
| 14 |
whatever who knows what the previous values were. |

I think any kind of large-scale directory moves are going to be risky |
| 17 |
on a distro like Gentoo. We should probably give them careful thought |
| 18 |
before implementing them. This isn't something like Ubuntu where you |
| 19 |
practically wipe and re-install all of /usr a few times a year from |
| 20 |
what amounts to a bunch of tarballs. |
