See you are just missing the point. He switched it to a VMware specific
SVN repo maintained by people who know VMware inside and out, otherwise
known as the VMware team. There is a HUGE difference between an overlay
with ${random_ebuilds} maintained by a small group who cannot possibly
know all of the ins and outs of every package and their impact on every
architecture and a targeted overlay for a very specific purpose which
only contains ebuilds for which the maintainers have 100% complete
understanding. Targeted overlays maintained by people who understand the
packages in question in totality == good, Catchall overlays maintained
by a few people who cannot possibly (and this isn't meant as a dig
against anyone it's just a fact) understand the implications and
interactions of *all* the packages in said overlay == BAD!
