Did the Funtoo devs tell you that they don't run repoman because of the
explosive set of possible combinations that flavors & mix-ins introduce?

Having it run over them should be easy; but having it run within a
reasonable time when scaling up is going to be quite painful, ...

It sounds like a trade-off between better profiles and better repoman.
