In my experience you can't *really* rely on automation 100% for this |

sort of thing. Not while achieving quality results. |

Its viable for an overlay where there's no expectations of quality, but |
| 11 |
for the main tree, I find you want to have a human san-check everything |
| 12 |
and manually vet each upstream version for "anomalous things". |

Automation is good at handling the "known predictable" cases, humans |
| 15 |
are better at detecting "huh, that's weird, why did they do that?" |

Because you absolutely want to know if upstream added some stupid |
| 18 |
change that is harmful to Gentoo users before you blindly replicate it. |
