do it. stick it somewhere in /var. i have a small SLC SSD just for /var and /usr/portage partitions, since those consistently incur high writes. dropping to just one partition for all that i/o would be real nice. |

if this proposed change is made, please make sure to contact the GDP. while we don't update things like manpages or elog announcements, we would have a ton of stuff to fix in gentoo.org/doc/en/ . also, make sure stuff is sorted out on the catalyst/releng end well in advance, so users aren't stuck with bad stages. |
