Yeah, I had a look on those some time ago. But how would you teach those tools to understand and manipulate USE flags properly? That's where flaggie is again required for AFAIK. Well, I never got a fan of ansible & co and instead have my bunch of bash scripts being sent/executed over ssh, opening tmux windows and such. Tested for up to 30 Gentoo boxes and that just WFM.
