6 Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? When I read it, it
7 sounds like you're saying people will copy ebuilds/packages from the
8 core/reviewed repositories into their own, just to have them to
9 satisfy deps or whatever..

11 If that's what you mean, then I think many of the comments mentioned
12 earlier still apply. I forsee that we'd end up with the type of mess
13 that binary distros (used to?) have, where the third-party repos
14 contain various copies of potentially out-of-date and out-of-sync core
15 packages to satisfy the unique packages they actually want to provide.
