No, it's not. Low end disks are cheap. High end disks still aren't.
Bandwidth still isn't.  Especially when you're spending donated
resources rather than your own.
More importantly, I don't believe we can have a reasonable test coverage
if we start exponentially increasing the number of package permutations.
Gentoo can ignore that because they don't worry about testing or
integration, but we cannot.
