I think something that would be really useful is better integration |
| 8 |
with configuration management tools (ansible, puppet, chef, etc). |

There are a few tools floating around but for the most part you're on |
| 10 |
your own with any of these. I'd really like to get to the point where |
| 11 |
I can be certain of being able to completely reproduce all my Gentoo |
| 12 |
boxes from configuration management tools - to the extent that other |
| 13 |
than cpu cycles it is as easy to just create a new vm/container/etc as |
| 14 |
it is to run emerge -u world on an existing one. |

++ - as long as it can be adapted to various uses. I don't need a |
| 22 |
bootloader and kernel on my container. As many times as I've |
| 23 |
installed Gentoo, I often manage to forget a step. |
