14 | Following discussion [1] and a vote by the Gentoo Council [2,3], |
15 | on alpha and ia64 package maintainers are allowed to remove |
16 | the last stable version of a package under certain circumstances |
17 | (basically when it is outdated and the stablerequest for a newer |
18 | version on alpha or ia64 has been pending for a while; for the |
19 | details, see [2,3]). |
20 | |
21 | You should be aware that this may occasionally cause broken |
22 | dependencies and/or require keywording of packages for stable |
23 | users. Then again, things may work out fine just as well. |
