Why so. Portage is the one and only (thus primary) package manager for the gentoo tree. It is by itself responsible for the database of installed packages. This responsibility can only be held by one package manager at the time as multiple databases would create conflicts and / or missing information. That means at a system there is a primary package manager. The productive discussion is distracted from by your attempts to hamper my argumentation by making unsupported accusations against my reasoning.
