They're really not. You haven't even begun to discuss:
* What generation looks like.
* How to select which ebuilds to trigger generation for.
* When specifically to trigger generation.
* Whether generation failure is possible, and what happens if it is.
* What to do when generated information is required but not available.
* The security implications of the previous point.
* What the impact upon upstream servers is, if any.
* How generation fits in with users doing system updates.
* How generation fits in with the highly differing frequencies of
upstream updates.
* How generation can be made to fit in without changes to the version
spec, whilst still 'making sense' and doing the right thing.
The answers to all of the above are highly non-trivial.
