16 The idea behind it is that the repo_name of the binhost is not
17 necessarily useful. In many cases it will contain the default repo_name
18 value, since people just create binpkgs with a standard Portage install.

20 I agree it is a hack. Perhaps a combination of the repo_name and its
21 url would be the best.
