I agree that it would make sense for the the sunrise overlay to
contain smaller package trees, with each package tree aimed at a
particular type of ebuild.  Layman supports automatically downloading
each of these smaller trees as separate overlays.

This would still allow Sunrise to maintain a social workspace, where
Gentoo can encourage and train would-be developers (and hopefully
recruit the good ones) .  In fact, I believe that it will work better,
because we'll be encouraging users to focus on particular problem
areas rather than encouraging users to download a large and sprawling
mass of packages.

Having smaller, targetted trees would also help ensure that Sunrise
doesn't become another BMG.

Best regards,
Stu
