I think it is time to unmask the currently masked Bitcoin versions. The |
| 2 |
mask was added in Juli of 2021 [1], with the mask's commit message |
| 3 |
indicating that unmasking is planned for November 2021. |

I doubt that the mask was ever needed in the first place, as it was |
| 6 |
intended to prevent automated updates of Bitcoin in Gentoo. However, |
| 7 |
Gentoo has no unattended upgrade mechanism. Instead, the user explicitly |
| 8 |
triggers all updates. |

As this has already caused a little bit of friction, I'd like to get a |
| 11 |
feeling of the community's view on that. |
