I agree that it would make sense for the the sunrise overlay to |
| 6 |
contain smaller package trees, with each package tree aimed at a |
| 7 |
particular type of ebuild. Layman supports automatically downloading |
| 8 |
each of these smaller trees as separate overlays. |

This would still allow Sunrise to maintain a social workspace, where |
| 11 |
Gentoo can encourage and train would-be developers (and hopefully |
| 12 |
recruit the good ones) . In fact, I believe that it will work better, |
| 13 |
because we'll be encouraging users to focus on particular problem |
| 14 |
areas rather than encouraging users to download a large and sprawling |
| 15 |
mass of packages. |

Having smaller, targetted trees would also help ensure that Sunrise |
| 18 |
doesn't become another BMG. |
