> And then there's the sunrise overlay [1]. Yes, but sunrise doesn't (didn't?) take any packages already in the tree. If it's not getting updated in-tree, however, and the only block from it being in sunrise is that it's in-tree already (that is, there's someone already actively willing to work with it in sunrise, and only can't because it's in-tree), then that could be support for removing it from the tree. But better than that would be finding a dev to proxy-maintain it in the tree, since the above assumes a user already willing to do the real work. The difference is in-tree with a named proxy-maintainer, or in- sunrise with the sunrise devs acting as proxies. Since in-tree is higher visibility and availability, that's definitely preferred, and if it's already in-tree, the only blocker is then finding someone to be that named proxy-maintainer. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
