I was aware of that but it seems to have been resolved: the musicbrainz 
flag is active again*, and tunepimp and musicbrainz are stable and 
emergeable in Portage.

The bug is RESOLVED FIXED and states that everything seems back to normal.
At least, that's what looks like...

*unless it has become some kind of dummy, useless flag, in that case 
it's a bug.

Well, not everyone follows BOTH forums and mailing list (for example I'm 
mostly a mailing list guy), but valuable help can come from both places, 
and someone looking for a solution shouldn't lose too much if misses one 
of two places. So I feel that crossposting is good not only for me, but 
for the community.
