Michael,

this sounds like a *really* good idea to me (I guess I can think of your
background you plan to use this for), this would make Gentoo a bit more
"meta" and would also make it easier to build distributions upon Gentoo.
I look forward to discuss this idea in "real life" in Graz next month
with you and GLEP it :)

wkr,
Tobias
