What if there is some unofficial, user-contributed theme which is very, very popular among users of relevant package. I think that makes it a perfect candidate for being in portage[1], while not falling under your three exceptions. > Portage was really designed for executable software, not for arbitrary > collections of binary data (themes, ezines, etc.) Not that > collecting/indexing those things is bad, just not really what Portage > is aimed at. Realizing that I am replying to someone who was at the birth of Portage, I disagree - Portage is a means of getting filesets installed on a system in a controlled way. Choice of these filesets should be purely at packagers' discretion. Of course, common sense has to be applied. 1. The reason for this is the same as the one we hate certain distributions, which force us to install nvidia drivers ourselves, without package manager aid.
