It needs to not be a Gentoo project and not hosted on Gentoo |
| 26 |
infrastructure, with absolutely no support from Gentoo. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I have absolutely no problem with overlays that are for a specific |
| 29 |
target. I would have no problems with either of the sunrise |
| 30 |
"maintainers" starting their own overlays in projects they manage. I |
| 31 |
just can't imagine a dumping ground such as this being a good idea, |
| 32 |
ever. It would require an enormous amount of manpower. How exactly can |
| 33 |
2 people possibly cover the manpower needed for this when the *entire |
| 34 |
developer pool* cannot handle it now in bugzilla? |

Unfortunately, I don't have much faith in this possibly being handled |
| 41 |
correctly. There simply isn't the manpower to do it properly *and* |
| 42 |
officially. |
