I just got really tired of eternally being The Only One In The Place Who
Knows Gentoo(tm) and who doesn't blindly "emerge -uND world" on a remote
box then walk away....
At least with apt and yum juniors can be trained fairly quickly to do
reliable world updates safely. This keeps the boss off my neck. That
makes me happy.
On my personal servers and laptops, it will take on the order of atomic
warfare to make me give up my beloved Gentoo there :-)
