I'm a fellow ex-Gentoo user; moved to Debian and things are much easier.

That all sounds awfully complicated for small setups to be organizing!
I can't imagine many organizations go to that trouble; or have I just
just had the luck of having my head in the sand for too long?  I'd
maybe expect the more technically proficient hosting companies will do
this, or is this more a symptom of rpm awkwardness whereas I'm used to
apt?  I haven't used RedHat for a while but I do remember getting into
dependency hell far too often whereas apt just tends to work.
