I consider it vital to a running system. If you don't, that's your |

opinion and you're welcome to it. If you can get the developer base to |
| 8 |
agree that it should be removed, then I will go against my own opinion |
| 9 |
and remove it, but I'm betting that most people will side with me, |
| 10 |
especially considering you break *client* support by removing openssh. |

Actually, it wouldn't be as long as you think, thanks to the "obsolete" |
| 17 |
profile that already exists. Rather than the usual "two release" |
| 18 |
deprecation, where we only deprecate two releases back and older, we |
| 19 |
would deprecate *everything* prior to 2007.0 and remove them all on the |
| 20 |
same date, which would likely be 6 months or so after. Remember that |
| 21 |
even the 2006.1 stable portage (2.1) had support for multi-inheritance, |
| 22 |
we just haven't gotten around to using it. |
