8 I agree. The proposal sounds like a great way of getting more
9 experienced users to contribute to the project, yet it still keeps the
10 broken/illegal/etc ebuilds written by some of our less experienced
11 users non-official (where official = hosted on *.gentoo.org).

13 I'm in favor of a overlays.g.o as the companion to planet.g.o with
14 selected users contributin, but I'd hate to see plain end-user
15 overlays hosted on *.gentoo.org.
