Ehh... except there's *already* ebuilds that are *not* under |
| 12 |
maintainer-wanted in the overlay. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
It also doesn't answer the questions of security and maintenance. Are |
| 15 |
genstef and jokey going to be responsible for the security of every |
| 16 |
single package in the overlay? Are they going to be responsible for |
| 17 |
ensuring that the packages adhere to current ebuild standards? How are |
| 18 |
ebuilds going to get from this overlay into the official repository? |
| 19 |

Not a single one of these questions has been answered, yet many |
| 21 |
perfectly valid objections have been brought up by a few developers, |
| 22 |
with no answers being given. |
