Right, the extensive use of overlays shows a clear problem here.
Users could work on a branch of the normal tree to bring in their
changes, which gets merged by a normal developer at some point. The
offical dev-lisp category is in bad shape (== not usable at all), while
the overlay is in great condition because of some dedicated users.
