How exactly is it easier to manage a large number of ebuilds versus a

It is easier to manage one large overlay than managing 35 small overlays.
Communication overhead, duplication of effort, ...
How many people will manage the big overlay? , How many ebuilds will
this overlay have? ,
now compare that to the amount of people maintaining the small overlays
and their number
of ebuilds.
Which one is easier now?
Note: And i am omitting all that part of who are maintaining the
ebuilds?, how they are maintaining them?,
what kind of ebuilds they are maintaining?, and many many other details
that probably immediately kill
the assumption of a big overlay being easier than 35, 40, 90, 500
smaller overlays.
