Please see [1] for the proposal of betagarden overlay, which might

Maybe betagarden/sunrise would benefit from mirror-coverage,
hosting situation is a recurring question on #-sunrise. Votes?
Sunrise commit access is limited to sunrise devs. And I see the _rise_
in context of software and devs.
I don't say sundown, cause for mentioned arguments, I just wanna have
functioning/maybe superseeded software around, regardless of it's
commit-frequency, author involvement or century of creation.
Again: We need to proceed as a contemporary distribution ("Does not
build with latest ~** gcc/" argument), but we can preserve our trail
for those who like.
The line between removed packages and obsoleted slots has to be drawn.
I'm in a tension between overlay scatter and providing an automated
time capsule (that certainly will mess up any of the aforementioned
repos).
