Hi everyone,

Lots of people have expressed an urgent desire to have a stable
version of portage that includes EAPI 2 support and automatic
blocker resolution for cases like bug 244511.

Since portage-2.2 isn't quite ready yet due to ongoing work in
package sets and preserve-libs, and I don't want ongoing work to
hold back other features that are stable, I'm planning to split a
2.1.6 branch from trunk. This branch will have package sets and
preserve-libs support disabled. This branch will be named 2.1.6 in
order to preserve continuity such that the final portage-2.2 release
will have all of the features that have existed in previous
portage-2.2 releases.

In order to get testing on the new 2.1.6 branch, I plan to put
portage-2.2 back in package.mask until portage-2.1.6 has been marked
stable.

Does this plan sound good? Are there any objections or suggestions?

Thanks,
Zac
