I would like to second this suggestion.  It's a bit more work for the
sup collection maintainer, but I think this change will reduce overall
load on the sup servers because the number of files that need to be
'updated' after a bad sup will be reduced.

FYI, I've never used allsrc; my current list of sup collections is

ksrc
src
security
games
doc
othersrc

which gets everything in the smallest possible chunks.  I could
replace ksrc with ksrc-common and ksrc-i386, but I like to have code
from the non-i386 ports around as a reference.

Sup collection maintainers can get the relevant files from Arne Juul;
he's already done the necessary work.
