I am not sure if that is a joke. You can pretty much ask most major gentoo projects. The ones where I was involved more deeply definitely suffer from that problem, including sunrise and games team. Science team gave up importing major ebuilds to the tree and just let users manage them on github, because that workflow sucks less. People are increasingly using their own overlays, because they don't want to bother with our collaboration walls. That's reality. >> because our workflow is horrible.

Especially when we are talking about our own community. "Figure it out yourself or get lost!"?
