That would address some of the immediate concerns, but not any longer
term issues -- the default provider in all profiles would still be
portage, which requires nasty hackery at system install time, for a
start. I'd view changing the system dep to the virtual as a good thing
in itself, but not a substitute for a profile in the tree.
