When I first read Zac's original email, I was sure that a change was
required, and I'm sure now as well (I personally find the cache stuff
pretty clunky). However, I think that a time has come for more
*radical* change to the repository format. We've learnt a lot of
lessons regarding flat-file repository management, and our experience
could result in a new much better system.
I'm not sure what kind of tree structure exherbo uses, but I'm sure
there are ideas we could take from there as well. This alongwith our
plans for moving to GIT, and the tagging need, and various others
means this is a good time for a "revolution" :)
As they say, "Keep one to throw away, you're going to anyway".
