It doesn't because: 1) it is human readable and not very convenient for parsing; 2) we must keep this information on per-package basis and not globally; 3) many items are missing in MOVED (and I've recently missed one when changing a port, for example) 4) MOVED contains too many unnecessary information that is useful merely because we are using archaic version control system (namely, subversion) So the answer is no: we need a special field in manifests to make renaming transparent for pkg and, in turn, for users. -- Vsevolod Stakhov
