One example: I have 1 package installed from sunrise, app-misc/gpspoint. I 
used it regularly until recently (after buying a good android phone, I use 
osmand on it instead of my old garmin navigator; but this navigator is 
still working, and I might want to download some track from it, in which 
case I'll need gpspoint). OK, I can commit it to the main tree. But I'm 
sure there are other working packages in sunrise, too.
