yes but this excludes totally the ChangeLogs. Having the latest changes
handy may be useful.
Simply trying to equilibrate benefits and disadvantages,
for desktop user that care on changelogs only when emerge fail
and the network administrator that has a local rsync mirror and could
not care less of some additional MB transferred.
As a common user with ADSL 256kbps all additional data downloaded via
rsync causes longer wait for syncing. If I want to see a changelog i go
to packages.gentoo.org and read it. As i got Gentoo for about 10 months
I don't remember if I read Changelog via bash.
It is quite important thing at this time as Gentoo Dev's plan to add
news messages adding to portage which also will be synced (as I recon).
