9 That is big false, we can fix it for one time but when it is broken for
10 long period and we fix it there is 99 certainity that package will end
11 up on QA list again because noone else would care about it, so if noone
12 maintains it and it is broken for a quite while its preffered to remove
13 it and maybe readd it back when someone again became interested in it
14
15 Also we are all volunteers and you are acting like you feel we don't
16 provide what you want. In that case easiest solution is to stop whining
17 and join some gentoo project to help up with maintaining stuff. We have
18 dozens of weak areas so it is quite possible some of them might attract you.
19
20 If you feel like you don't have time for doing so, we don't have it
21 neither we are already maintaining quite lot stuff ourselves and trying
22 to make whole tree compilable is addition to it.
