That is because looks nobody from sci team has enough time to move
things from sci overlay to the tree (probably because it's being
maintained there by people without commit access). Ideally that people
would become devs with commit rights but, until then, looks like some
packages (usually sci maintained packages) are being maintained better
in overlay than main tree :/

I guess wouldn't be problems on pillaging ebuilds from that overlay to
the tree... but I guess you would be willing to become its maintainer to
update ebuilds from overlay when needed :|
