Last year we had announced introduction of a new L10N variable
intended to replace LINGUAS as a USE_EXPAND variable [1]. Since then,
many packages have been converted to the new variable.
The next step in the conversion will be removal of LINGUAS from
USE_EXPAND, which means that LINGUAS will become a normal variable,
maintaining the standard gettext behaviour. For a transition time,
all linguas_* flags currently existing in packages' IUSE will be
added to use.desc, but will be removed again when conversion of the
remaining packages is complete.
The plan is to remove LINGUAS from USE_EXPAND in one week from now.
Please speak up if you think this would cause issues for your
packages. A test run using CI [2] was done by mgorny, and it hasn't
shown any problems.
I also assume that the permission for fixing packages [3] still holds.
