I'm pretty sure you have, for pax-utils and portage-utils, didn't you?

Actually, we meant to move to a stable archive of distfiles for years,
and Robin has been working on it for months already.

The policy, that as chithanh pointed out needs to be updated, is just

for whatever reason. Ulrich (ulm) and Christian (fauli) knows how much a
pain it becomes.
