this i'm not so sure about. when you have a local overlay, portage complains |
| 12 |
when there are no masters which means most people have just blindly added |
| 13 |
"masters = gentoo". but if they have packages in there using the old name (on |
| 14 |
purpose), then updates will constantly tromp on that. |

at least, there should be one of: |
| 17 |
- one-time automatic migration of existing layout.conf files where we set |
| 18 |
"updates-master =" for them. |
| 19 |
- a warning phase where we complain if the field isn't set, and we default to |
| 20 |
current behavior. once some time has elapsed, we stop warning and we change |
| 21 |
the default. |
