How will users understand what happened to their good old torsmo, |
9 |
which used to work fine for months but suddenly disapeared after |
10 |
an "emerge -u world"? |

I think it would be better to package.mask it with some comment |
13 |
like "Deprecated, masked in favor of app-admin/conky", because |
14 |
that's something emerge reports when it makes world updates fail |
15 |
(whereas package moves are absolutly silent and implicit). |
16 |
|
17 |
In short, for me it's just like any other package deprecation, |
18 |
because actually the "same code base" argument doesn't really |
19 |
matter from a user point of view. |
