Well, it can make sense if you're actually actively testing it and having it in tree offers convenience when doing so, but generally it should be reserved for cases where it really is actively being tested, and isn't simply sitting around. Then you actually have some kind of roadmap to general release. This is far less disruptive than sticking an ebuild in ~arch when all you know is that it builds. I can't vouch for what is going on in this case. Rich
