I don't think the problem with maintainer-wanted ebuilds is that they |
| 12 |
are crappy, but that there is no dev willing to maintain them and ensure |
| 13 |
their quality over time. 'sunrise' (who came up with that name ? cheap |
| 14 |
asian poetry attempt) doesn't change that by adding it to an 'official' |
| 15 |
overlay. |

Instead of tackling the real problem -the lack of maintainers to deal |
| 18 |
with all requests- 'sunrise' is trying to create a backdoor for |
| 19 |
unreliable maintained stuff to enter the tree. |
