It has been discussed, there was even some summer of code about it.

It is a feature we would like to see in (but specially crafter) as it would
allow to remove most of the linux ports from the ports tree and we could tell
the users to simply add a special linux.conf repoconfiguration pointing to a yum
repository to handle the /compat

Unfortunatetly those summer of code did not reach the point to be integrated.
And I have very little time to work on this feature myself

Best regards,
Bapt
