not really, why dont you apply some of your logic:

shows this

completely "in-house" with respect to control, direction, etc...
- "in-house" would require every one who is control of the package
manager to
be a Gentoo developer
- in order for you to gain @gentoo.org again, we'd need either a
complete
flush of developer blood who would accept you or you to change
yourself ...
neither of which are realistic
so let's put this all together shall we:
you are in full control of paludis, you will not be a Gentoo
developer,
thereforce paludis will not be the official Gentoo package manager
The logic is flawed. I don't understand why Gentoo can't switch to
paludis so long as there are "in-house" Gentoo developers ready to
maintain and support it.

"emerge" is a brand name for Gentoo and while you can complain
about lack of
features all you want, dropping portage and installing a different
package
manager with a completely different interface will surely causes a
huge pita
for everyone
It is a rather trivial issue to wrap paludis or pkgcore commands to
their "emerge" equivalents. As discussed before on the thread, mere
command-line compatibility is not an issue at all. If a switch is
made to a new package, I am sure enough steps will be taken to ensure
that the process is as transparent as possible, and most users will
not even notice the difference; except of course the immediate benefits.
Cheers,
