This broke current default for emerge --sync. And if users added overlays, they most definitely want them to by synced by default as well. So I propose to set auto-sync=yes by default. 2. Why not to keep compatibility with current layman and local repositories? On some systems I have about dozen of overlays and I bet most users too. Give people time to adapt their setups for new changes, e.g. keep support for old configs and behaviour for at least several minor version bumps. 3. I suppose eix-sync will be completely broken with portage-2.2.16? That's nuts. Really. Give developers time to adapt their software for new API. Be compatible, at least for a while.
