| 7 | But we know that package names are _not_ unique. There are many cases |
| 8 | in the Portage tree where two or even more packages have the same |
| 9 | name. Categories are there to avoid such collisions. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | With multiple overlays/repositories instead of one monolithic Portage |
| 12 | tree, the collision issue gets even worse if you have a flat |
| 13 | namespace. |
