Thanks for the reply. It's a shame that a conceptual NACK wasn't
delivered in v1 [0] though. Also, Elijah said a configuration option made
sense in v1 and you responded to him and didn't disagree, so I took it
as conceptually okay.

I'm aware of the command line option existing. It doesn't work well for
us because it's really only suitable for certain classes of repos where
you essentially *always* want it enabled (any ebuild repository), but
you don't otherwise given its speed and you may not even be
expecting many copies/renames elsewhere.
