My use case is basic: 2 home computers, I do emerge et. al. on the
faster one and produce binary packages to be used on the other one,
which doesn't even need distfiles, just portage tree plus binary
packages.  I copy stuff between boxes with rsync via ssh. Simple
enough and it seems to be working fine.
