9 As already stated by Flameeyes, we could produce a list of hundreds of ebuilds to remove,
10 just because they are unmaintained. So, let's start alphabetically:
11
12 app-arch/arc
13 app-arch/lha
14 app-arch/pdv
15 app-arch/rpm
16 app-arch/upm
17 app-arch/upx
18 app-arch/zip
19 app-arch/dump
20 app-arch/lzop
21 app-arch/gtk-splitter
22 app-arch/mscompress
23 app-arch/cksfv
24 app-arch/tardy
25 app-arch/unace
26 app-arch/unarj
27 app-arch/bsdsfv
28 app-arch/stuffit
29 app-arch/guitar
30 app-arch/upx-ucl
31
32 Good luck with that approach... :)

34 OK, if someone wants some starting point that makes at least some sense, see
35 http://tinyurl.com/bbvxs which lists open bugs assigned to maintainer-needed
36 that are not enhancement/version bump.
