>=sys-devel/gcc-4.7.0, whose usage is required to trigger some problems, is already package.masked. |

One of major problems with this tinderbox is that it cannot be used to test packages against newer versions of packages |
| 9 |
present in overlays [1], but it can be very useful. E.g. before release of Python 3.3.0 I had tested about 200 packages |
| 10 |
against snapshots of Python 3.3 found in an overlay. Besides founding problems in about 10% of packages, I also found |
| 11 |
some regressions in Python 3.3 [2], which were later fixed before final release of Python 3.3.0. |

Maintainers of app-office/libreoffice-bin always build it against stable versions of its dependencies, |
| 21 |
so maintainers of app-office/libreoffice-bin can be asked to build it against ICU 50 after stabilization of ICU 50. |
