We do need to apply policies to the overlays. We can't have an |
| 8 |
absolute free-for-all. Projects and individual developers need to be |
| 9 |
responsible for their overlays - just like they are responsible for |
| 10 |
the packages they add to the tree. |

But we are not going to treat overlays like they're the Portage tree. |
| 13 |
That would undermine the whole point of having the overlays in the |
| 14 |
first place, and would bring zero benefit to our users and our |
| 15 |
developers. |

They are different, and they require a different approach. |
