It's easy to grow when there's nowhere to go but up. Debian hit the knee in the growth curve a few years ago, most likely. Gentoo has yet to hit it. But they *will* hit it. And if they don't, well, then we'll need to take a look and see what we can learn from them. Personally, I think we already *have* learned something from them.

It makes source package management feel a lot like using apt to manage binary packages, and is being used as a testbed to work on adding source dependencies to Debian. . It can be run as a normal user, or as root. If you want a convenient way to track updates to packages while preserving your local modifications, this is a way to do that. -- G.
