Hi,

Hmm. You should ask Christian (in CC) but he is quite busy with real life stuff.
g-ctan, despite its name, was to install updates from texlive; you can still grab your packages from CTAN and write your own ebuilds if you want. It is a lot of work if you want to update many packages, that's why we use the texlive bundles instead. See dev-tex/pgf or dev-tex/mh for examples.
From my point of view it could be dropped...updating it should not be
that hard, but I really lack any free time for such things, especially
proper testing. Real life means non-IT job and two little kids.
