Another useful feature of rsync is --exclude that allows some categories to be excluded (for size and speed efficiency), e.g. my servers don't need kde-* and games-*. Also taking into account that we use portage tree on embedded devices where again both size and speed really matters it looks like the answer on your question is "permanently". -- Peter.
