IMO such overlay should be official! Why not to keep all (partially)
broken ebuilds in one place? This is the same story as with German
gentoo forum that is outside gentoo.org and thus none of devs wanted to
keep eyes there, so forum became much less useful.

Another problem with BMG is that it is gnome oriented, as cleary stated
on About page and thus I never thought that my, fex, www-apps could be
there.

And that is really exciting moment. :) The main difference between such
overlay and wiki is that reading text never does `rm -rf /`. How can one
stop such jokes? I think if this problem will be solved such overlay
should be.
