I am not sure if that is a joke. You can pretty much ask most major |
| 12 |
gentoo projects. The ones where I was involved more deeply definitely |
| 13 |
suffer from that problem, including sunrise and games team. Science team |
| 14 |
gave up importing major ebuilds to the tree and just let users manage |
| 15 |
them on github, because that workflow sucks less. |

People are increasingly using their own overlays, because they don't |
| 18 |
want to bother with our collaboration walls. |

That's reality. |

That's a common attitude in opensource, but still wrong and does not |
| 37 |
improve collaboration. Especially when we are talking about our own |
| 38 |
community. |
