No, brix is certainly not happy with a overlay like sunrise in any
official capacity. This should be clear from the meeting [1] that was
held between sunrise (jokey and genstef), userrel (represented by
christel), brix and myself.

Instead brix suggested a different solution to the problem, namely a
"proxy maintainer" project that everybody seemed to be happy about at
the meeting. However, while brix sees the proxy maintainer project as a
replacement for the current sunrise project jokey and genstef sees it as
a welcome addition.

In any case it's not true that everybody is happy with sunrise yet.
