I understand that some directories under the proposed scheme may be large, such as /p/p5, /p/py, /g/gn but it seems that this would not be any real change from the current situation for the perl, python, devel, and other

I don't understand what this scheme buys us (other than port maintainers
not having to choose a place to put a port).

But that should be easier to find where a port is located

easier than 'port dir portname' ?

(and the
primary category could be changed more easily if need be).

How often does this really happen? (and svn mv isn't really that hard anyway).

Moreover, if this is implemented, I think that prefixes should be
optional, so that those who use a local source with a few ports only
could choose to avoid prefixes.

That might be a useful enhancement.
