I probably shouldn't butt in... |

first, no I don't want you to merge java-overlay and |
| 9 |
java-experimental, that's a bad idea (well at least for me) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
second. I generally think anything beyond a personal overlay is crap. |
| 12 |
All these overlays like sunrise, java-overlay, and on and on... |
| 13 |
basically official, overlays that have qa and are pretty stable. are |
| 14 |
crap. they should be in the tree. an overlay for developers is fine, |
| 15 |
you know. where you are working on stuff... stuff that someone who |
| 16 |
wouldn't want to hack on it wouldn't want, because it's too broken. |

but one of the few good things about gentoo, in relation to other |
| 19 |
distro's, 1 tree no repos, continues to fall further and further |
| 20 |
apart. |
