Last I looked at gentoo, that was not its main point. Yes, it used
packages for a lot of things. But its main point was explaned to me as
being that YOU built everything. YOU tuned all the packages for your CPU
and memory and disks and case color and hair color and astrological birth
sign, etc.
Even with syspkg, NetBSD is never going there.
Take care,
