The issue there is then you have to properly determine what packages to remove from the repo (unless you just keep everything, which has its own problems); in this case, recomputing actually makes the code simpler. > It was claimed that recomputing is necessary for some obscure multilib > corner cases. Let me suggest a radical solution for that: drop multilib > repos! While that would make things simpler and shorter, I doubt it's really practical. Enough people use and want multilib that I don't think we can just unilaterally remove it. Moreover, the multilib portion of the compose isn't the primary time eater. I certianly don't want to go back to the whitelist case where every time someone needed a new multilib package we had to update a static whitelist in the update push tool. That's just silly.
