We are talking about completely unrelated versions, not what we are touching. |
| 9 |
For example, old imagemagick ebuilds sitting around, where the newer ebuilds |
| 10 |
are fixed, but old ones are not. We have a security bug open about this |
| 11 |
package right now, and having an error about deps in some old version doesn't |
| 12 |
really help arch teams at all. |

I am all for getting stuff ported, but making things harder for arch teams is |
| 15 |
not the way to go about it. |
