A possible solution is to remove it in the next version of openrc, as
it is deprecated already.  Another solution is to ask the Council to
let somebody apply patches if the maintainer is unresponsive, set a
deadline, etc.

Since many of the packages are system packages letting them break
isn't really an option.
