10 Its likely this removal will cause the same kinds of problems faced by
11 the recent virtual/pam removal, just its more insidious, as the
12 dependency on the virtual is hidden away inside an eclass.

14 But this still means that anything users have already installed will
15 still depend on this, and without --changed-deps=y, it will break
16 portage's resolution of anything currently installed using this crate.

18 You can work-around this by -r1 bumping everything that used this
19 eclass .... but this just goes to show why there's policy against
20 eclasses changing the dependencies of their consumers without any
21 consumer involvement.
