1 How would you comment the following quote from Gentoo Handbook
2 "In most situations, /usr/ is to be kept big: not only will it contain
3 the majority of applications, it typically also hosts the Gentoo ebuild
4 repository (by default located at /var/db/repos/gentoo) which already
5 takes around 650 MiB."
6 that can be found here:
7 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Disks ?

9 Have I correctly understood that the Gentoo ebuild repository default location
10 is /var/db/repos/gentoo but virtually everybody relocate it to /usr/ during
11 the installation process?
12
13 Why not change its default location to /usr/ in this case?
14
15 Where the Gentoo ebuild repository should be allocated? Why?
