Do the KDE-live builds require paludis?  I recall reading that they were 
headed that way, because it could support an EAPI with needed features 
while portage couldn't yet.  Those builds were live only and were to stay 
in the overlay since packages in the main tree must support portage.  It 
was the non-live snapshot versions that were the portage ebuilds, to 
eventually be targeted at the tree, after they became release ebuilds, of 
course.

I've not done paludis due to its lack of binary package support.  Even 
tho I'm running only a single computer, I use binary packages for 
installation backups and handy lookup reference since I can just dig in 
the appropriate package tarball to see what an old version of a file 
looked like, so lack of binary package support is as far as I'm concerned 
a blocker, here.  But I guess it hasn't been a priority (sort of like 
proxy support in KDE4, from what I read).  <shrug>  If it works for 
them... but it's not going to work for me without it.
