I agree here. |

When I decided to help out the overlays project, I thought I had made it |
| 13 |
clear that I didn't want to support a BMG-style repo on official |
| 14 |
hardware. It was for things like php, perl, etc that had their own |
| 15 |
overlay and were actively working out specific issues for their project. |
| 16 |
What you're proposing goes against what I supported initially. |

There was a lengthy discussion about this months ago, but apparently |
| 19 |
this group decided to ignore all the points in it and just go with this |
| 20 |
without consulting the group first. If you can't sort out the issues |
| 21 |
that have been brought out here, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline |
| 22 |
my support on infra hardware for this specific project (but not the |
| 23 |
other overlays so people don't have a fit :-) ). |
