    Layman is still a convenient way of managing overlays. It still works as intended.
    Is there any way for it to be kept in the repos?

    The only issue would be the switch to a different tool.
    Is there documentation about the migration path ?

    My little search found old forum questions, with individual
    configuration changes, not general directions. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1136835-start-0.html https://www.reddit.com/r/Gentoo/comments/lxnktm/psa_stop_using_layman/

    Is anyone aware of an alternative for "layman -i repo_name"? I use
    that on occasion to find overlay maintainers when assigning bug
    reports.

    emaint sync -r <repo-name>

    Works for any repo in repos.conf, not limited to layman.
