There are just too many of them. I want to have an easy way to organize 
my distfiles, especially when I want to selectively take them to some 
location disconnected from Internet or having too slow Internet 
connection to download distfiles.

There are separate directories for KDE, gnome and gnome2, heck, there 
are directories for ruby, python and ezm3. Isn't it natural to have a 
directory for perl5? It is, I suppose.
