strategies may be better served by compressing
all but the smallest files.
Good heuristics for the default compress-or-don’t threshold should cover
most systems, but the ability to easily override the default is desirable.

a command such as 'rm [a-z]*' will unlink(2) 'Makefile' and similar files
which one would not expect to match) and cause bugs.
In fact, glibc's insistance that C and POSIX are ascii rather than raw
unspecified eight bit is itself a bug.
Utf8 is nice, but fo
a *very* fast system. Even across a dialup straw, an emerge --sync
is orders of magnitude faster.
If the ebuild calls a class which has been overridden by a local class, and
the original class set DEPENDs or the like, then as it reads in the new class
file it should just use those values in place of the ones in the cache.

All portage needs to do is accept that local overrides are more
important than anything coming from upstream.

which does not have a local override.

Every time portage looks for an eclass, it should check there first (caching
what it found, to save future lookups w/in that run) and just use anything
it finds.

The app-emacs/ngnus- ebuild is in active use and should not go away.

If it does move to metadata, it will need to be copied into /var/db on
