3 So, I've seen many people raising intrest in keeping IUSE="static" in
4 cryptsetup and lvm2 but I haven't really seen anyone working on it yet,
5 except _AxS_ committed one patch but that isn't enough.

7 Take eg. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472692#c4

9 The user raised very valid question in the bug... The current answer

12 So I'll be removing IUSE=static from said packages if they still fail
13 after week or so, like they do today and have for past months.
