This is a measurable performance hit on something that's already i/o bound. * It's harder to work with for developers. Ebuilds are no longer all in the same place, and it's harder to see what you're working with. On a subjective niceness scale, I'd suspect that the file extension is less unnice. -- Ciaran McCreesh
