[gentoo-dev] gentoo-news repository

Some devs have complained about the directory structure in the
gentoo-news being too complicated. News item files are currently found
in a third-level subdirectory:

YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD-itemname/

On the rsync side the year and month subdirs are absent:

metadata/news/YYYY-MM-DD-itemname/

After discussion with zmedico (who is maintaining the repo->rsync
script) I propose to remove the month subdirs at least, and possibly
also the year dirs. This change would be invisible to users, who see
only the rsync side.

Opinions?

Sounds good, although it could get a bit crowded if we remove YYYY/,
unless we remove really old items (like >= 2 years old).
