I'm all for it, as said before, in my opinion there are two distributions. The
Source distribution (emerge) which should build everything possible from
source and the binary distribution (the installer). Mixing them is just added
overhead with no real value.
Personally I'm building sourceonly for a very long time now and I am not
updating the binary packages.
As we've already made sourceonly default at the last sprint dropping the
binary packages should not hurt anyone.
Regards,
Andre
