27 The coin has two sides; while you may shine a good light on the ebuilds
28 in the Portage tree, it may shine a bad light on those in game overlays
29 as I think this comparison was made somewhere earlier in this thread.

31 From what I know, people appreciate those game overlays; so, while I'm
32 not suggesting that you do shine such light, I'd just like to ask like
33 mva for everyone to stop making such comparisons and/or quality checks.
