Open floor
==========

WilliamH wanted the council discuss the availability of the graveyard overlay
through layman. The overlay contains packages dropped out from the main
gentoo repository due to lastriting. WilliamH wanted to know whether placing
potentially widely used, but by upstream deprecated, versions of apps,
e.g. grub:0, should live there. There was a general concern about the additional
amount of insecure and broken ebuilds to the user with this approach and the
council suggested to better lastrite those version with longer lead times,
rather then pointing users to the overlay.
