According to Team Android quoting PACman ROM team's statement on their latest AOSP ROM project:

"The idea was to remove the need for a hunt of rom and cure flasholicsm by providing everything xda has in rom development in a single bloat free rockstable rom. This is the FIRST rom of its kind with a hybrid framework consisting on cm10.1, AOKP and AOSPA. What makes PACman unique is this perfect blend of all of these. It took a LOT of work of thinking behind to merge the frameworks in the right order."
