I wholeheartedly agree with Stephen on this. |

You should have brought up the idea for the Sunricers project on this |
| 9 |
mailing for discussion instead of just going ahead and implementing |
| 10 |
it. |

Personally, I dislike the idea of having officially supported (read: |
| 13 |
hosted on *.gentoo.org infrastructure) overlays for unmaintained |
| 14 |
ebuilds for which nobody did any real quality assurance. I fear this |
| 15 |
will drag Gentoo back into the old-ages of having a reputation of a |
| 16 |
ricer-distribution; a reputation I for one have worked very hard to |
| 17 |
get rid of during the past 2 years. |

Please put this project on hold until is has been discussed properly |
| 20 |
on this mailing list. |
