Just an idea to bring up when we implement: Due to the fact that we would have huge groupings on certain letters ( re, fe, li py, sy) use the first 2 letters of the md5sum of the name. Hopefully that would spread out the load across enough. The project build script would automate this so people don't have to figure it out.
