18 +Title: KDE3 to be masked and removed from portage

27 +After multiple setbacks we have finally managed to stabilise KDE4 on
28 +both major desktop architectures (amd64 and x86), with other teams to
29 +follow.
30 +
31 +For this and other reasons as discussed at [1], those of you who still
32 +use KDE3 should be seriously considering an upgrade in the near future.
33 +
34 +KDE3 is currently being phased out of the tree, meaning ebuilds with
35 +KDE3 support found to be broken or clashing with KDE4 features are having
36 +that support removed.
37 +
38 +KDE3 packages will be moved to a special overlay named kde3.
39 +This can be found in layman. [2] Note that this overlay is going to be
40 +user maintained and will NOT be developer reviewed. [3]
