Users editing the output of emerge --info and hiding they overlay |
| 7 |
usage is another problem. Anyway, overlays are not going away, so we |
| 8 |
just need to streamline our process of dealing with the resulting |
| 9 |
bugs. |

To bring this back on topic, users are going to get tree-cleaned |
| 12 |
ebuilds anyway, putting them in their local overlays if they want to |
| 13 |
use these packages. We're just facilitating them with a more |
| 14 |
centralized solution for this, as there is obvious demand for it. |
| 15 |
Plus, this may be a stepping stone for users fixing those packages and |
| 16 |
taking up proxy-maintainership. |
