23 Isn't that effectively where we are already at though? If the last
24 push was a full year ago, we've pretty well got a closed-tree already.
25 I guess we just need to announce it..?
26
27 As for what to do with the packages that exist already.... what about
28 adding a p.mask to the repo with a message along the lines of:
29
30 "Sunrise has been masked for removal, if you care about this package
31 please ping its bug on bugs.gentoo.org so that we know it is a
32 priority for migration"
33
34 ..or similar?
