Things that are not suited for public consumption should not be made |
| 14 |
public in the first place. This is one reason that I don't think that |
| 15 |
users should be given the opportunity to create their own gentoo-hosed |
| 16 |
overlays. I believe that developers could be trusted though to do things |
| 17 |
properly. |
