In order to deal with it, I'd also have to come up with a solution to
distributing keys for Gentoo developers. That's a separate issue which
must be addressed separately.

A wording change from "may" to "should be" is fine by me, but "must be"
is not, at least until we have a real signing system in place.

Overlays override on conflicts, they don't run in parallel.

I'm going for not making any design decisions which will preclude
reasonable future changes.
