Exherbo has no users.

Having said that, Exherbo also currently doesn't ship pre-generated
metadata cache for anything...

...and that's why. Handling generated caches across multiple
repositories pretty much requires getting all your repositories from
the same place. It's certainly something that's doable, but getting it
right is important and as far as I know it's not a huge priority for
Exherbo right now.

Whether or not any of a package's versions' descriptions contains 'gcc'
is not static. Similarly, what the 'best visible' version of a package
is varies every time the user changes config files or syncs, so that's
not static either.
