I mean, I figure the only patches that should even be managed by cvs are ones we create ourselves, and under normal circumstances, those wouldn't be terribly large, so they could go w/o being gzipped. And since most people update their portage tree using rsync -z, they would be compressed before being sent over the network, so that shouldn't cost too much extra bandwidth. Pete
