Deleting specific packages from a repository is a time consuming process because the entire repository has to be scanned to determine which packages depend on which files and only remove files if they are unreferenced by any other package.
Sounds like an excellent place for an RFE, on "efficiency of package removal from repository"
If the repository is going to be treated in some ways like a virtual filesystem, it would benefit from being designed with similar optimizations. Effectively, it has "inodes" and "hard links", in the sense of pkg files=inodes, and pkg inclusions being directory entries. So sounds like there would be benefit in some kind of link count. If not an explicit one, then at least a more efficient method of computing the link count.
