Last rites in gentoo-dev-announce and gentoo-dev are better to draw |
| 28 |
attention. Users who happen to have these packages installed, they |
| 29 |
will see the message when they run emerge -uDN world and they will |
| 30 |
hopefully step up and take over the package. Those you don't have it |
| 31 |
installed will probably don't care so keeping it off the radar is |
| 32 |
acceptable for them. |
