Yeah, and the point is? It happens every day, there are already tons of third-party overlays used by Gentoo users, but once this thread about "official" overlays started, you came here to tell us "wow, this all will cause terrible borkage and flood developers w/ tons of stupid invalid bugs, we need policies"? I really don't see how overlays run mostly by Gentoo devs would cause any more borkage than totally uncontrolled third-party overlays run by whomever creates and publishes them, sorry. -- jakub
