30 Now that we're on git, I don't see why a quick `git mv old-cat/foo
31 new-cat/foo` wouldn't get the job done. Don't quote me on it, but my
32 guess is it would work fine. Then make sure the profile data gets
33 updated by updating the relevant file(s).

35 If you're keeping it in an overlay until you think it's ready for the
36 Gentoo repo, you may as well keep it whatever you want since it's not
37 bound by Gentoo policy. I would start with dev-util, even in tree, and
38 migrate to dev-rust when it reaches critical mass on packages (I'd say
39 at least ten).
