10 See, the problem with this is when Gentoo itself gets a
11 baselayout-2.1.x, then it is masked for them if they have the
12 pure-funtoo overlay. IOW, people will complain one way, and then they
13 will complain the other way. IMO, it is "busy work" for the overlay
14 owner and should be left to the user to "know what they are doing"
15 because all overlays are experimental.
