I'm certain that a common method to this, like what you're saying, would allow Gentoo to become scalable to the point of being easily usable on a large scale.
It's a lot of work. I'll be pusing binaries to lots of systems, but, it going to take me months to get ready. I was hoping others with similar goals would 'band together' to come up with a solution that combines the needs for the casual user as well as those of us that want to manage dozens to hundres of Gentoo systems..... I need to refine the idea, and my goal is mostly embedded gentoo sytems, but, they are very similar to gentoo-servers. Expanding the idea to workstation, at least for core software, is not that difficult. I do not intend to get into 'competiion' with the devs, particularly on applications that are big, complex, or prone to breakage (OO).... It'd really be better to do this as a group, but, I've found little interest, most probably due to the fact that most folks are already bogged down with their own ambitions.
