* No offense to those involved there intended, but I'm pretty sure that overall QA standards in the main tree are higher than in the sci overlay at least. * The KDE overlay contains mainly live ebuilds and packager prereleases not for public consumption. * The perl overlay is mainly a one-man project with 800 packages, and while you can certainly send as many pull requests there as you want, time would be spent in a more productive way updating the main tree perl packages. (Except that requires talking to and cooperating with the rest of the perl team. Oh bugger.) Project overlays are typically used as staging ground for packages "in preparation" or "not yet ready for the end user". I am still not sure why you are trying to forcefully mix up this distinction. As a side note, my personal willingness to add random overlays to my system is limited while (only as examples) there are no arch teams supervising keywording/stabilization there, no security team tracking vulnerabilities and filing GLSAs, and while there's no QA team that kicks people doing silly eclass changes. - -- Andreas K.
