Seems that way. Currently there is a lot of work in progress. They are
mostly bugfixes, but also some new features (haven't seen the whole

They want to follow kde3 tracks. I guess that qualifies for "a new direction".

Do you think new overlay is better way to go? I was thinking, that
some of our ebuilds would have to be duplicated

As I recall, the reason we're not using bugzilla is, that we don't
have full access to it and without it it's kinda crude.

That would probably solve our bugzilla issue.
