Actually, it's kind of interesting. Taking the obj/ links out of the src/ tree is a natural extension of taking the objects themselves out. Two users could build from the same src tree into different obj directories. Right now that doesn't work because there can only be one symlink. src and obj on nfs mostly works, but only if one is careful about the mount points. As a third or fifth or whatever configuration, it may be too much variety, but it sounds like it could replace the current obj system. Same amount of variation.
