If you have unlimited disk space, sure. Otherwise, it would be really nice to be able to layer venvs so you don't need to have multiple copies of a package installed.

  My virtualenv for work comes in at 847Mb (actually a lot more than I expected). I have a 2Tb disk attached to my machine. For all intents and purposes, we do have unlimited disk space.
