How about gentoo based livecds, etc. ? I was thinking of sabayon but couldn't remember the name. All I could think of was exherbo... which AFAIK does use at least eselect (I've seen it mentioned) and I'd guess news also, given the person who was the big push behind the GLEP. ... But IMO the entire debate is a bunch of bikeshedding, which implies it's reasonably safe to assume the status quo is likely to remain.
