We have dpkg, rpm, yum and pacman...now we only need entropy, this will be really useful.

Because?
What do you intend to do with it?

I don't know entropy much but how about using entropy instead of portage to install from stage3? I mean, gentoo-arch style. Speaking of which I'm trying that right now. I'm trying to install stage3 using pacman... then maybe I'll try using yum...

The advantage with entropy is that it's made for a Gentoo system and after installing a packages, it enters it in the portage db (am I right?)...that means you can use both of them unlike with other package managers.

Entropy pkgs are 11, ranging from cli apps to gtk2, kde4 ones.

Just let me know. I can move them over and maintain (being myself the Entropy dev). At the same time, I could also move packagekit to tree (from gnome/kde overlay) and move on on that front too.
Although they don't affect Gentoo environment in any way, I could keep them masked.

I soon realized the Sabayon overlay when installing form sabayon minimal.

^^^

Thanks for the fabulous distro. Minimal install + newbie friendly installs... all in a single distro.

Entropy Package Manager is now in tree.
