So you'd rather have people not using Gentoo because you can't agilely pivot your strategy mixin? Without binpkg support I'd feel the need to hack it up, just to get things fast enough. It's one of the features that haven't been made popular enough (eh, we could easily provide binpkg-updates for @system for all profiles and the most common arches (amd64, x86, maybe arm) - I've been running a cronjob doing that for x86+amd64 for about a year now) This perspective of "I don't need it, thus it shouldn't exist" is quite ... amusing.
