9 Indeed, also mentioned in the Changelog (I've read) and I can remember lu
10 asking me about this on irc.

12 As illustrated by my previous email, I've been using it for a while now,
13 without any problems. The ebuild was marked stable one month ago, I have
14 seen nil bugreports on it, except for this one, and we're on it - doing QA.
15 xfree-r3 was last changed 3 days ago and is not marked stable on ppc.
16 I don't see how lu could possibly have predicted one month ago that xfree-r3 was
17 going to break using the binutils he was masking stable after a long time in
18 unstable without problems (even today - see my previous email).

20 Instead of pointing fingers, I'd prefer a bug report that gives us a chance
21 to look into this situation and in the end help the user out.
22
23 Even if the bug is an upstream bug, we'll report it upstream, so don't
24 hesitate bombing us with this kind of feedback, but please no finger
25 pointing. <insert stuff about gentoo developers being unpaid volunteers here>
