I was mainly referring to your way to exluding this community which is
already working on the gaming side of Gentoo. You shouldn't ignore
active contributors because their ebuilds happen to be of lower quality.
It would be nice if you could try to actually talk to them and find a
way to make them contribute to your new overlay otherwise you may end up
actually be the only maintainer of it.
