I dont know the relative dependencies counts for both synth & poudriere, but I suspect synth is bigger ? ( I have a messed up current here where loads of ports break, I tried to build synth to then recover other ports, but synth broke deep, building some gcc, & I have a working poudriere.) If one has a good stable platform, then a nice maintainer that does chroot/jail elegantly with lots of features is probably attractive, & dependency count not a worry. But if one stands on a broken system & needs to recover, some simple stock cc & sh tool/procedure with no dependencies is attractive, even if one has to coble something ones self.
