Uh, end users get consistent and sensible categorising when stuff is properly categorised.

A few people having to rebuild a few binary packages now and again (and incidentally, it'd take you even less time to fix fixpackages) is far less of an issue than keeping an already way too huge tree slightly more manageable. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
