Just like you described. There will be a profile for each system environment and that would be integrated in CI/CD using OBS for my proposed use case. Use flags will be optimized for each case only possible with a powerful distribution like Gentoo :P Obviously that creating a new profile would need a strong requirement for that ;) That's why I think the effort for maintaining profiles would be awesome with the idea proposed by Michael Haubenwallner, with the "Social Linux Distribution Network" sharing Gentoo user's profile setups - with the cache for binary packages to be optional. So the OBS reference in this context would be the profile and the binary repository as optional. The open-source development way of systems described by the schema "profile" would be the next step. Containers or appliances cloud be defined this way for complex deployments. Thanks ;)
