The purpose of this project is to reduce the workload of Gentoo ebuild
maintainers by automating repetitive tasks which do not require constant
supervision. You see, most work done by ebuild maintainers is repetitive and
only requires the outcome to be inspected. Such as 

- Testing the effect of any change in the portage tree which affects several
  packages. Ex:
    * Testing the reverse dependencies of a library for a major upgrade (such as
      xulrunner-1.9)
    * Testing the effects of a large eclass change
- Arch testing stabilisation/keywording lists (one of the best targets for
  automation)

etc.

TODO: Elongate this with further examples and use cases
