HAHAHAHAHA...

Anyway, though spyderous was joking somewhat, he does have a point.  We
really have no reason to produce one as part of the regular releases.  I
have thought about making one, just for kicks.  The primary reason for
not doing one is that SystemRescueCD already does this quite well.  This
is a niche where someone else has built on Gentoo's work and has come up
with a unique and usable product.  While I have no problem with someone
else within the Gentoo project using catalyst for this task, I don't see
a reason for one as part of the official releases.
