It is a critical task, and as such, it needs to be done by an administrator, 
under supervision, and, thus, by hand. If I wanted any silly package 
admistration system messing with things like the default flags and compiler, 
I would better use any other distro.

The problem is that a source based distro, relies deeply in the compiler and 
the libs, and those are tied to the profile in gentoo. So, no, an autoupdate 
for this will not be wellcome at all in my side.
