I already have a /usr/local/portage overlay bigger than 500Kb.
I can beat that, try 23MB :-/
Anyway, back to your point - yes, there are lots of bugs with patches
attached that aren't being added to the main tree. And there are lots
of bugs where the ebuild or fix is ending up in an overlay rather than
the main tree. It's getting complicated to keep track - all I can
really advise is that if you'd like to see fixes and ebuilds being
added to the main tree, then become a developer and start doing it
(although it is complex for something like gcc compile fixes which are
spread across packages owned by multiple developers who will get upset
if you touch their package).
