The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks. |
| 20 |
Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile |
| 21 |
before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be |
| 22 |
removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were |
| 23 |
adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a |
| 24 |
new profile using eselect: |

If a machine is not migrated to a new valid profile then emerge will |
| 34 |
have very limited functionality. |

I reworded this and moved it near the top. |

I'm trying to avoid using 'you' in the announcement which is why all |
| 49 |
the rewording. |
