Changes:

- Name: youbroketheinternet -> youbroketheinternet-overlay

delete n0.is host and its onion, add gnunet.org in place.

Please assign this to me.

I opened this in advance to ask if there's a policy on overlay name changes.
Someone working in our team requested the change.

We can change the name if you update profiles/repo_name. However, note that layman doesn't detect that in any way, so it will silently continue using the overlay with the old URL.

So if the name stays the same and I change the URL like I have to now layman doesn't pick it up?
If layman doesn't pick up the changes I added in the patch, I want to add the name change as well. If layman picks up the changes and the name change would not be picked up, I don't want the name to be changed.

What I mean is, is there any damage added if I change the profiles/repo_name in addition to the changes? The url already shows the name.

Just to be clear, I haven't used layman for a while, so it may changed a little but the generic considerations are:

1. If you change the URL (and name stays the same), layman can detect that and it can either warn the user or change the URL (I think it used to do the former),

2. If you change the name, then layman obviously can't guess the new name, so it just presumes the repository was removed completely.

So I suggest you keep the old name, especially that appending '-overlay' is redundant and just makes people have to type more.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

That wasn't my idea, there are other reasons for that.. mainly future namespaces.

I'd say you can apply the patch as it is, I can explain the reasons for keeping the name
