Every team will have their own preference on how to get the most out
of an overlay.  No-one's required to use an overlay, and no-one's
required to give out access to non-devs if they don't want to.  It'll
be okay for different teams to have different practices for their
overlays.

I believe the overlay team's job is to provide the capability, clearly
communicate what isn't allowed, provide technical documentation and
some examples of practices already in use ... and then get out of your
way.

Best regards,
Stu
