15 I fail to understand your case, and I will admit to not having followed this thread extremely closely due to the fact that we are getting ready to roll out our 2.0 release, you are saying that people should, or should not have the choice? Or that people are free to have the choice as long as it isn't on infra controlled Gentoo hardware? Emerging the kernel sources, as far as I understand it, doesn't affect anything (except perhaps external drivers, but then again, what doesn't - you have some wireless drivers that require some options be set in the kernel, and others not be set, and it gets worse when you are trying to test both pieces of hardware at the same time as they refuse to co-exist due to the way the drivers are being written these days)

17 The way I see it, this could be a huge step forward, and bug reports should have the emerge --info in them anyways, and you would see they are using sunrise there. So is the real issue that people would use the overlay or that the overlay is hosted on Gentoo hardware and that makes it bad? I really wish I could follow this thread better. Can someone summarize?
