We still need the find a friendly developer to take care of the ebuild.

Gentoo is too "LFS"? Well, it's already possible to install Gentoo with
a graphical installer, genkernel eliminates the need to hack with the
kernel and package management / USE-flag editing do both have graphical
frontends. The only problem is that there's no handy way to install
up-to-date prebuilt binary packages compiled with custom use-flags and
cflags. Debian/Slackware/Arch aren't really much "higher level". I'm
using Arch myself on slower PCs since portage is currently a bit too
"heavy".
