12 it already has a patch that's been merged upstream, so just waiting on the kde
13 guys to actually merge it. i don't think we need to block gcc-5 unmasking on it
14 if it's not going to get merged any time soon.

16 also it relies on USE=qt5 (my qt4 builds are fine). not sure the distribution
17 of those flags in practice.

38 i upgraded gradually and it wasn't that much of a hassle, but it helps to know
39 how to read the failing logs/symbols. so an empty world would be OK.
