10 IMHO, not every singular dependency change (even blocker) needs one.
11 For those failing to read `eix upower` or `emerge -C upower` or masking
12 systemd, or number of other ways the blocker can be solved, the answer
13 is in Gentoo news letter, forums, first hits in Google, /topic of #gentoo at
14 Freenode, MLs, pretty much everywhere.

16 But news item has been planned all along for when UPower 0.99.0 goes
17 stable, propably
18 GNOME 3.12 and some 0.99.0 consumers, when there are enough steps to
19 accumulate as news worthy.
