I take it that an official overlay would be one that's hosted on overlays.g.o? If that's the case, our overlays have been around for at least a year (that's when I started using it as a user), and probably longer than that... which was before overlays.gentoo.org was even around. Additionally, the overlays are managed by the our team, and have been an integral part of our project, having been referenced for some time from our 'official' IRC channel and our project page. In my mind, this effectively make the overlays our 'official overlays'. > I agree with you there.

Note: this was already planned, and it isn't me trying to be grumpy about the direction this discussion seems to be going. We would have moved sooner, but mostly we've been busy working on the migration stuff, so likely won't happen until we've moved that into the tree. - Josh -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
