I agree. It's along the same lines as only using file extensions for |
| 15 |
determining the filetype (and we all know how that turned out...). It |
| 16 |
*does* have the advantage of being really fast, though. |

Nevertheless, the basic bug is about changing the distfile repository |
| 19 |
format in such a way that a single repo can contain several distfiles |
| 20 |
built with differing build conditions. Putting metadata in the |
| 21 |
filename is only one way of ensuring that. |
