27 I would also argue why wasn't this revbumped at the same time, if the
28 package was touched -at all-. This is a package I've been interested in
29 as a user for a couple of years now, but not having the required
30 knowledge, hadn't touched it to update. 0.6.3 is -ancient- and
31 unsupported upstream. In fact, I have been instrumental in fixing a few
32 bugs in the 0.7-series upstream, but could not bring these releases to
33 Gentoo because of the reasons mentioned.

35 Equally mystified,
