Subject: [gentoo-user] warning: vmware workstation users should not use new 10.0 profile

1 The new 10.0 profile recently bumped libxcb, and other X libraries, to
2 new versions that break the vmware workstation. Since that is a binary
3 only package it can't be re-compiled by the user. So workstation users
4 are advised to stick with 2008.0 profile for quite some time.

6 (spoken from experience, was not a fun upgrade/downgrade)
