I wonder if there is some advantage to leaving things as my
installation has created them or should I revert to the old way
where package.use is file... not a directory.
There's no specific advantage to using separate files within a
directory to using a single monolithic file other than manageability
and some utilities, as far as I'm aware.
I think that having separate directories makes things much easier to manage
when your system divert in major ways from the official ones.
For example in my ARM (and soon MIPS on the Creator) linux I want the mate desktop but not all packages have been tested and approved so I need a lot of entries to get them to compile. I do not want an entirely unstable system so I start with the stable
one and customize, only using package that I consider stable enough for my use. Having multiple files makes my life easier.
Even if you do not need this kind of stuff it can still be usefull, why cram
everything in one file!
