One could move the "statically build packages, for darwin/linux, with clang" to the "About" section on GitHub.

There are a lot of different environments which a package manager could cover. This is the most important thing for me when learning about new tools: Does it apply to my use case?

This particular one is built around the ideas of bootstrap/reproducibility/hermetcity. If your usecases would benefit from these properties it might apply.

In my opinion the docs need to be improved a lot.

You may want to look at the Bootstrappable Builds project and StageX in order to reduce your binary seeds to almost nothing.
