10 Please see [1] for the proposal of betagarden overlay, which might
11 grab attention by posting a project page, @sping *plz*

21 Maybe betagarden/sunrise would benefit from mirror-coverage,
22 hosting situation is a recurring question on #-sunrise. Votes?

24 Sunrise commit access is limited to sunrise devs. And I see the _rise_
25 in context of software and devs.
26 I don't say sundown, cause for mentioned arguments, I just wanna have
27 functioning/maybe superseeded software around, regardless of it's
28 commit-frequency, author involvement or century of creation.

30 Again: We need to proceed as a contemporary distribution ("Does not
31 build with latest ~** gcc/" argument), but we can preserve our trail
32 for those who like.
33
34 The line between removed packages and obsoleted slots has to be drawn.

36 I'm in a tension between overlay scatter and providing an automated
37 time capsule (that certainly will mess up any of the aforementioned
38 repos).
