24 Only x11-libs/libfakekey and x11-libs/libxsettings-client are still
25 unmasked; both of them have additional maintainers, so nothing will
26 have to go to maintainer-neeeded@ when the GPE herd is disbanded.

28 By the way, x11-libs/libxsettings-client doesn't have any revdeps and
29 looks like it could be removed along with the other GPE stuff.
30 libfakekey still has some revdeps, though.
