14 It seems like GLEP 54 is intended to fill a similar gap in the
15 ebuild metadata. With PROPERTIES=live, it doesn't seem like GLEP 54
16 will be much use since it seems like you can achieve essentially the
17 same results by using PROPERTIES=live together with the existing
18 version suffixes such as _pre and _p (to control ordering).
