Nope. I had to remove them again due to the problem I mentioned. |

They are pretty much the only ones I use though (at this time, |
| 26 |
interactive-fiction, oss-overlay and sunrise.) The others are a pain to |
| 27 |
keep due to portage not being able to use only packages from overlays |
| 28 |
that don't exist in portage. |

Of course that's my personal opinion. I don't use |
| 31 |
"developer/experimental" overlays, I only use those who provide some |
| 32 |
extra packages I want. And I was under the impression that pure-funtoo |
| 33 |
falls under this category: providing packages that don't exist in portage. |
