Please explain me why keeping foobar-1.0 ( Released in 10/12/2009 ) is |
13 |
in favor of a ppc64 stable user when amd64/x86 has foobar-2.1.3 ( |
14 |
Released 60 days ago ) already stabled for them |
15 |
|
16 |
What if a foobar-1.0 bug pops up? What kind of support will that user |
17 |
get from the gentoo or upstream maintainer. The most frequent answer |
18 |
would be "Please update to 2.1.3. 1.0 is 0ld". Yes, not droppping the |
19 |
keywords is convenient for users but in this case their stable tree gets |
20 |
obsolet and unsupported |
