Well the difference is that AFAIK Sunrise is just for maintainer-wanted |
| 30 |
stuff that's not in the tree yet, but Michael talks about (rev)bumps of |
| 31 |

Personally I think that project/herd overlays with non-dev contributors |
| 34 |
already work well (at least for Java team) and don't see much benefit in |
| 35 |
some overlay for everything. |
