Subject: [gentoo-dev] Package moves as repocopies

I've been wondering lately with the discussion of yet more new
categories, why don't we do repocopies to move packages? Note that I'm
talking about packages switching categories and explicitly _not_ about
package name changes.
Although this would require a request to someone with shell access to
the CVS box, it would preserve all the history of the moved packages.
The loss of history is (IMO) the _primary_ problem of moving packages.
Thanks,
Donnie
