Somewhat related: we may want to consider slightly raising the bar for adding new (user) overlays. When mangling the overlay addition requests, there are requests for overlays containing only a few, sometimes even just one, package(s). I believe in many cases, GURU would be a better place for those ebuilds, instead of having an them in an additional overlay. I usually encourage users to maintain their ebuilds in GURU instead of an extra overlay. Of course, this should not be seen as black and white. There may be valid reasons for an extra overlay. But we should at least ask the user to consider using GURU instead. - Flow
