* No offense to those involved there intended, but I'm pretty sure that overall QA standards in the main tree are higher than in the sci overlay at least. |
| 13 |
* The KDE overlay contains mainly live ebuilds and packager prereleases not for public consumption. |
| 14 |
* The perl overlay is mainly a one-man project with 800 packages, and while you can certainly send as many pull requests there as you want, time would be spent in a more productive way updating the main tree perl packages. (Except that requires talking to and cooperating with the rest of the perl team. Oh bugger.) |

Project overlays are typically used as staging ground for packages "in preparation" or "not yet ready for the end user". I am still not sure why you are trying to forcefully mix up this distinction. |

As a side note, my personal willingness to add random overlays to my system is limited while (only as examples) there are no arch teams supervising keywording/stabilization there, no security team tracking vulnerabilities and filing GLSAs, and while there's no QA team that kicks people doing silly eclass changes. |
