The argument << deprecate repositories like "gamerlay" which do not

thread that tests the reality of that argument, that is to be expected.

It however is in no way derailing the thread; because you effectively
propose to "deprecate" it as well as highlight certain aspects to it,
if you drop your position we can all agree and no further discuss it.

Since this is a repository with 41 contributors of which 6 Gentoo
Developers, there are definitely people whom have spend a lot of work
there [1] and there are users whom use this work on a daily or weekly.

If these people want to commit and not uphold high quality standards;
just let them do that, there is no need for review in that repository.

There is an alternative solution here; and that is to bring reviewed
versions of them to the Portage tree or official games repository, and
honor their contributions. That is a win-win situation for both of you.

Don't fight overlays, but use them in the community's favor.

 [1]: Top 10 contributors and count of commits.

Please consider that some of these people contribute in other places,
want to become Gentoo Developers or actually do want to receive review.
