I'm not following a bad example. It's completely my idea :-)

The reasons I see are:
1) The directory is named the same as the port
2) I hope to import a linux-base-6.0 in the near future

I think there's an advantage in having both *-5.2 and *-6.0 present in the
tree since I can't guarantee that Red Hat 6.0 supports all Linux binaries
that run on Red Hat 5.2 and consequently that *base-6.0 supports the same
binaries as *base-5.2 under emulation. I'm just being carefull.

Thoughts?
