1 Another last rites mail for media apps... this is also the start of the end.

3 media-plugins/rmxxms is currently -* and p.masked, requires using realsdk and
4 is probably obsolete/outdated. Noone is working on this afaik, XMMS has
5 currently no upstream and there's no maintainer.

7 One week from now, rmxmms will be out of portage.
8
9 Please note: if in one week or a bit more nobody steps up for maintaining XMMS
10 in portage, I'll start a phase out of XMMS itself, this means closing all its
11 new plugins' ebuilds as WONTFIX, and then starting masking plugins with bugs
12 open to remove them.
13
14 We're plenty of alternatives :)
