Hmm... controlling emerges, or for that matter, openrc based initscripts,
from kcontrol... Or maybe it'll get the smarts to update my kernel git
repo, do a make oldconfig, build the kernel, mount /boot, and install
it... I'm... skeptical.
OTOH, integrating kuser and kcron might be doable. AFAIK they've done a
bit of that already.
