1 A reasonable alternative would be to have a separate variable in make.conf,
2 such as ECLASS_OVERLAY_DIRS, which specifies acceptable overlays for eclasses.
3
4 In most cases, users would probably only have their own, local overlay there,
5 and any eclasses found there should be used in preference to any in portage
6 or in the overlay the ebuild came from, if applicable.
7
8 Every time portage looks for an eclass, it should check there first (caching
9 what it found, to save future lookups w/in that run) and just use anything
10 it finds.
