That is :logical-host "CL-PPCRE" versus :logical-path "CL-PPCRE:MY-DESIRED;SET;OF;VIRTUAL;DIRECTORIES;*.*.*" The latter is trickier and proner to break. If we use the former we can provide two sets of translations CL-PPCRE:FASL;*.*.* -> whatever binary directory CL-PPCRE:**;*.*.* -> source directory So I would stay with that. > Question: are we going to create a logical pathname translation for > just the system sources?

First convince people that the logical hostname works and only then move to providing binary translations -- if that is ever needed, which might not be the case.
