Well, if you're going to have a package manager that delivers the same result
as Portage it must therefore work with Catalyst... or it must replace catalyst.
And according to Ciaran:

No. Nor will it ever, nor will it need to.

... hence paludis would be required to do whatever "end result" catalyst
produces (i.e. official release media) for it to be usable as an official
package manager.
