Personally I just mask the overlay and unmask what I need. If something 
breaks, I look into fixing it. Upgrading rather frequently seems to 
limit this, just maintain the system. Waiting months and then having to 
deal with tons of changes and an overlay going dead (I don't think 
poly-c exists anymore?) is way worse.
