Yes. but people like me would have a problem with that. So I would hope there 
will be more of a generic routine on DB calls.. I don't care if I download a 
sqlite db, but I don't want 4 copies either.. I would want a central db, 
mysql such as, and have one copy of the portage db, and another table of 
installed packages.. The table could be smart enough to know the machine 
name, or separate tables wouldn't bother me much either.

Unless, I heard a rumor there was going to be more of a client/server version, 
so maybe it can be solved that way?

I only keep one copy of /usr/portage now due to disk space.  I refuse to tie 
up that much disk space when I can centralize it.
