Correct - this belongs in news. Following any mailing list (let alone |

Under-use of news items has been an issue historically for Gentoo, |

though it has greatly improved. In general devs should be thinking |
| 21 |
about the impact of large changes and communicating it using news. |

mgorny's suggestion in his new thread would probably also help in that |
| 23 |
