Nope. It was basically one of Daniels naive visions mixed with Pieters
science blabla (nothing against science, but I wouldn't call a package
repository a knowledge base). If there is any actual information in
portage-ng, you have to ask Pieter, but officially it's dead (was never
alive really), but don't hope to get anything more than "it's using
advanced science, it works and I'll release the code someday".

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
