19 For the overlay people, it seems like we need something that's a
20 little different from the existing profile support, since profile's
21 are user-selectable and it seems like you want something that's
22 global/mandatory at the repository level. For example, it could be
23 located at profiles/profile.bashrc, similar to
24 profiles.package.mask, which is global/mandatory rather than being
25 part of a specific user-selectable profile.
