Well, basically he's right. Catalyst is a build tool that wraps all

You don't need it.... it just saves time and a lot of work writing
your own scripts to manage the environment, and it's semi-maintained.
You have an odd definition of "maintained". Chris (catalyst lead) and
I (general code monkey) are actively working on catalyst. We just
don't care much about features that don't directly benefit release
building, since that's what catalyst's primary function is. If someone
asks for a feature that doesn't affect building releases and submits
code, we're very likely to throw it in.
Please, that's not what I meant, accept my apologies if that's what came
across.
What I meant with semi-maintained is that it is maintained as an
internal tool for building gentoo-releases and not as a general
system-images buildtool.
Reading it again I should have said that more clearly, sorry.
