If all maintainers were disciplined, it would also be possible to rebuild some packages automatically in the case where one already has the source. For example, instead of downloading kernel, kernel-enterprise, kernel-source and kernel-smp, one can download the kernel SRPM and in 5 hours of build on a 800 Duron have all the binaries. Of course, one just has to ensure that the compilers and libraries are straight from cooker to ensure compatability, but I think this could have merits. Plus, if it were end-user-friendly enough (aka have a gui), it would shut the Gentoo users up ;-).
