As many of us are aware the tree is growing to a size that is really |
| 5 |
unacceptable for many. We have many packages that have excessive amounts |
| 6 |
of versions laying around that are not used any more. Many of these |
| 7 |
packages with excessive revisions most likely do not work with modern |
| 8 |
code any longer, or have security exploits or just dead upstreams that |
| 9 |
do not support them any longer that have been replaced with newer |
| 10 |
packages. Well these packages are around for stable at the moment when a |
| 11 |
newer package replaces the old and makes stable branch we need to remove |
| 12 |
the dead package. This is nothing but an attempt to start reducing the |
| 13 |
size of the tree and supported packages as a whole to improve the |
| 14 |
quality of Gentoo as a WHOLE. All packages of course need to be handled |
| 15 |
in a manner that works with maintainers/herd and the community as a whole. |
