This seems desirable and reasonable. |

As I replied to this subject earlier regarding KDE, let me complement |
| 20 |
that information. In the case of the KDE team, we keep work on a release |
| 21 |
all in the same place, so we don't need to unmask some KDE packages in |
| 22 |
tree for those using the overlay. However, we some times have deps on |
| 23 |
packages from other teams and or in other overlays, so I hope the repo |
| 24 |
deps would help here (not to unmask those packages, if they're masked, |
| 25 |
but to add a dep on a particular repo and allowing the PM explain to the |
| 26 |
user that he/she needs to unmask a particular version in the tree / |
| 27 |
overlay). |
