1 Hi,
2 Yesterday I was tinkering with a ruby script and the p.mask file to get a few
3 data about packages (long, off-topic story).
4 Looking at package.mask I found that there are quite a few packages listed
5 there that doesn't exists at all in portage, a few versions completely
6 vanished, and a few packages "masked as it doesn't work" since 2002 or so.

8 Is it time to cleanup package.mask ?
