There is another use. When report bugs to b.g.o, gentoo devs only take
care of bugs that all dependencies are come from the main tree. Users
mixed their environment with other overlays should check all
dependencies before submitting to b.g.o or bugs will be resolved as
wontfix. In case users use overlays, users would know what overlay
ebuilds come from and contact overlays' authors instead of b.g.o. Not
a big advantage though.
