That separate playground is usually an overlay and it has already |
| 6 |
happened, see "gamerlay" which is now terribly unmaintained and only has |
| 7 |
one/two active users (no dev) who do not get any review and find it more |
| 8 |
convenient than sunrise. That has lead to low QA and ebuilds scattered |
| 9 |
across overlays instead of being in the tree. Eventually they even |
| 10 |
overwrite crucial libraries like "libsdl" and break them. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Other _devs_ just open their own overlay for such ebuilds, because they |
| 13 |
don't want to work with some project/herd. |

Does that improve user experience? Is that the answer to a systematic |
| 16 |
problem of inconsistency and stubbornness? Will that make any1 |
| 17 |
reconsider his attitude about being a maintainer and realize that it |
| 18 |
means to serve the _user_? |
