Will there be restrictions on what can go into these overlays? There are some ebuilds that aren't allowed in the main portage tree. One example is winex-cvs (see app-emulation/winex-cvs/winex-cvs-3000.ebuild for details). Another example... an overlay dev could take an existing ebuild that has RESTRICT="fetch" and modify it to fetch the package directly without user interaction.
