Easy. Having a compiler on a production machine is a security risk.
Bye bye Gentoo.

Having to maintain a separate machine that mirrors each of your production
servers, just to compile and then rsync updates is impractical, therefore
Gentoo is impractical for large scale server use.

Do we get an apology yet? :-)
