[gentoo-embedded] More breakage, more cutting edge packages and patches wanted...

[Ed W]

Hardened and uclibc seem to be lagging a little these days.  I can see 
the argument for keeping quality high in the hardened builds (since 
users probably have a bunch of live servers like me!), however, I wonder 
if there isn't a case to go a bit more cutting with uclibc?

Is it fair to assume that uclibc is largely for less frequently updated 
systems, usually with an upstream developer testing builds before 
release?  Would it be sensible to push forward and tolerate the 
possibility of more "bugs" as a result? 

It seems to me that this might flush out more contributors and patches 
than the current situation?  For example I'm now sitting on a bunch of 
customised builds to build a small uclibc system and no doubt there are 
plenty of others doubling up on that effort?

Perhaps I'm missing an overlay which is easy to push changes to and 
folks here are regularly committing to...? If not do we need one?
