Andrej, |

This is not true: amavisd-new does not obsolete amavis. I have made |
| 13 |
several cases for the removal of the amavis ebuild, but it is still a |
| 14 |
legitimate package. Indeed, there is now an "amavis-ng" which is a vast |
| 15 |
improvement and is actively maintained. Even "amavis" itself has been |
| 16 |
worked on fairly recently. |

I really do not want to maintain amavis, nor amavis-ng. I spend enough |
| 19 |
time on amavisd-new. I would like to remove "amavis" from portage because |
| 20 |
of the awful state of its ebuild, but I do not want to remove it with |
| 21 |
everyone thinking that amavisd-new obsoletes it. This is not the case. I |
| 22 |
believe we also have some users depending on "amavis." |
