Looks really promising. Doing something like this automatically on the Linux Kernel + monkey patching, would probably break in the first try.
Open uses continuous integration, they're picky about it. Free spreads the same idea across whatever RELENG_M branches are open... 9,10,11 right now, and adds release branches. Linux is on it's own M.m.r release model. It's all pretty reliable so long as you look over your output to detect relatively rare build fail.
Same goes with the Gentoo port system.
Ports on any os seem like will always be spotty, far too many dependencies and upstream change. That's more or less expected.
