The main motivation for doing this early is to get the implicit libc dep out there sooner so fewer users are at risk of the (long-standing) issue wrt upgrading glibc early. The other is that it lets us do the binhost earlier because we need a newer portage on the client side to avoid portage rejecting binpkgs b/c of changed-deps. I think I'd normally prefer to wait a bit longer, but it's particularly horrible whenever anybody hits that bug I mention, and the test coverage is (hopefully) quite extensive for the feature too. There's also a bunch of useful fixes across the board, including but not limited to crash fixes for binpkgs w/ pkgmoves/updates. (Doing .57 rather than .58 which has the gpkg default change which is a breaking change.)
