It is pretty clear to me that binary distribution is not in the
cards from the maintainers of Gentoo.  It's a hard enough job
just managing the ebuilds.

It's also a pretty clear violation of the definition of Gentoo,
"ports-based."  I think it was Dylan Carson who used the phrase
"out of scope."  I like that.

It's also pretty clear that some people think it's a good idea,
or at least an idea worth discussing.  I think that's great.
So why don't you discuss and implement?  And not here, in a 
place dedicated to it.  I mean if you can't get MLM infrastructure
in place, you might as well give up on the idea of a linux 
distribution.
