The clean upgrade path from 2008.0 (still popular with some hosting |
8 |
companies) has already been destroyed with the removal of |
9 |
python-2.6.5-r3 a couple of months ago. |

It is up to the maintainers whether they want to invest time and energy |
11 |
into the old packages, and usually they don't. And it is indeed |
12 |
questionable whether users who update less than once every 6 months are |
13 |
worth this investment. (I tend to say yes, but that may just be because |
14 |
many come to #gentoo IRC with the resulting problems.) |
