I have to echo Chris's sentiments; we definately need this.

Simply put, we need users to survive.  One thing that attracts user membership
is the existance of precompiled binaries.  It's a big pain in the ass to
compile stuff for your system, and I'm speaking from the point of a former
system administrator who used to do that all the time, AND from the point of
a programmer who occasionally installs stuff into our depot tree at work.

At worst, it can't do any harm; at best, it can only help us.
