Well the big thing is that unlike Gentoo, Exherbo was able to switch to using Git for its repositories. On top of that, Exherbo also has proper automated tinderbox runs (with automated conflict resolution) for changes, including across repositories, and a much stronger culture of accepting that breaking changes to APIs and APIs that give an error on misuse are necessary for a quality product, and a tolerance of developers making those changes and then applying the fixes to other people's packages. Distributed is much easier to do if you're starting from something which is correct and verified... -- Ciaran McCreesh
