Yep, subversion comes to mind on this one. Though, this isn't forcing anyone to |
| 7 |
uninstall their db versions, but simply removing them from the portage. Granted, it |
| 8 |
does make it more difficult to migrate db version backends, but since the ebuilds in |
| 9 |
question will be available from the CVS attic on cvsweb, I think the benefit |
| 10 |
outweighs the harm in removing them. |

Thanks for this list. It seems that the removal of 4.0* and 4.1* are probably okay, |
| 15 |
based on this information. |

I imagine we'll go through a normal 30 day package.mask/removal procedure when the |
| 18 |
time comes. |
