+uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since an RFC by its maintainer in Gentoo |
| 26 |
+in Jan 2021, no one has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in |
| 27 |
+the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc" |
| 28 |
+profiles, which will be removed on 2022-01-01. For parties interested in |
| 29 |
+an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported. |
| 30 |
+ |
| 31 |
+Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its |
| 32 |
+efforts in that area. |
