1	Hi folks,

4	I'm interested in arguments whether patches should sit directly
5	within the portage tree or downloaded when needed.
6
7	My feeling: downloading on demand is better.
8
9	+ makes the tree smaller, saves space, saves network traffic
10	- downloading lots of patches may take a little bit
