13 I agree with killing gimp 1.2. The last gentoo revision to the ebuild
14 was October 7th, 2005. Nearly a year old. Theres also a ton of bugs
15 (just looking at the bug list, #123028, #135566, and probably others
16 that I'm too tired to look up) on it. For frontline, if I found the
17 right frontline, its made for Gnome 1.4. Kill it as well. Or, if people
18 complain enough, put it in an overlay so the few people that *do* need
19 to use it can.
