Way outside the scope needed here. However we pull off Zhenchoo, its
going to be built on top of portage and our package management with
extra bling.

That's what is necessary to empower people with "ready built" machines
to customize it in the direction of a "natural gentoo install"

All this converstation details is:

- Is a given technique good
- Can it be installed in tree without breaking things
- How do we do that
- Is there a place we can do it where the problem is isolated to a
  narrow spectrum of users to limit potential fallout
- Is this a "Put warning bells on it and let users blow off their own
  feet and then don't do it by default"[1] thing.
- Can this be a "Just package.mask the problem on hardened" thing.

All of those can be combined in some way to get and end result by
whoever ships the stage 4 the way they want to do it. They can use an
overlay if they want.

Nothing is stopping them :)

Other than themselves of course.
