I'd like 
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_6b3e00049a1bf35fbf7a5e66d1449553.xml
to be discussed, specifically zacs form of forced mtime updating of 
/var/db/pkg on vdb modifications

Reiterating the reasoning, it'll be used for enabling the managers to 
manage caches, specifically invalidating said caches if an alternative 
manager modifies the vdb.

End result, if we can build better caches for vdb, vdb access can be 
heavily sped up.

At this point, pkgcore/portage both have it implemented.  Not sure if 
portage has released it yet, but >=pkgcore-0.5.2 is in the tree w/ 
said updating support.
