My gut says yes - I don't think we need more than that.

Once the ebuilds hit the main tree, the source files will get
mirrored, so we won't be putting much load on the servers anyway, but
I'm not going to spread that link around, no worries.

I'll talk to the head kahoona for this little project of mine when I
see him online next - though he could answer himself, he's on the
mailing list =p

Cheers!
