What exactly is wrong with the current cvs attic space? I've salvaged old ebuilds and it was a completely painless process. Things that have been treecleaned were not just haphazardly removed, there is typically very good (often security or complete build failure related) reasons for this to happen. Running an overlay of old, outdated, unbuildable, security vulnerable software... I know there is no formal process for rejecting a gentoo project but even this idea makes me want to get council approval for an extension to the gentoo project guidelines. If users want to salvage things from the cvs attic and put them into SUNRISE after fixing them up I'm fine with it, but the whole idea of this is bad for gentoo developers, bad for gentoo users, bad for gentoo image, I just don't see a single advantage to this and so many disadvantages. Please, this needs to not happen.
