Am I out of touch?
No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

Gentoo isn't immutable or declarative afaik
No, but it already supports multiple versions of software.
Though I would argue that many systems have dependency cache that should be replicable, specially when you build everything locally, you can pinpoint specific commits, not just versions that may be removed from repos.
But my comment was meant as a reference to building everything locally, as in I know what that's like.
