8 The Gentoo/HPPA team no longer thinks that the time invested in
9 package stabilization is warranted for the small number of users on
10 HPPA. As a result, we will drop most "hppa" keywords to "~hppa" on
11 2020-12-31. Around 850 packages will retain their stable keywords.

13 Users need not make any changes to their systems—other than perhaps
14 adding some entries to their package.accept_keywords file. The
15 Gentoo/HPPA team has no plans to remove support for the architecture.
