Ok. |

To be honest, I don't really care about the name, but I don't feel like |
| 16 |
having huge discussions about it either. We just chose something more |
| 17 |
sexy than /sw. Besides that, having chosen a default, doesn't mean you |
| 18 |
need to use it. We could name it like |
| 19 |
/Library/GentooPortageInstalledPackages, but that really looks ugly in |
| 20 |
your paths. Luckly there is shell completion, but it still is a bit too |
| 21 |
ugly to me. |
| 22 |
Finally, this is just a minor side issue, that I feel is completely |
| 23 |
irrelevant regarding the state of the project. |
