6 Hi,

8 In fact, no: glibc-2.9 was allready keyworded on hardened ~x86 in the
9 portage tree, and not masked until 2009-02-11.
10 So ~x86 hardened was naturally upgraded to glibc 2.9 without any
11 intervention.

13 I have no problem to package.unmask it, it's just to know what is the
14 reason for this mask :)
15 But keep in mind that for ~x86 hardened, this mask has a dependency
16 problem, since ~x86 iproute2 depends on glibc that is now masked on
17 ~x86 hardened (and was not before 2009-02-11)
