Having worked with layers for quite a while now I go through the following
list before creating one:

Does it need to be a layer? -> no -> send patches to existing layers
	|
	yes
	|
Does it need to be a seperate repo? -> no -> send patches to existing repos
	|
	yes
	|
Is github/gitorious/etc good enough? -> no -> ...
	|
	yes
	|
Create repo + layer

And after a I while re-evaluate it.

regards,

Koen
