In addition, Gentoo currently lacks a working stable +development machine. + +As a result, all "sparc" keywords will be changed to "~sparc" on 2025-09-01, +with the "~sparc" keyword added to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in the profile. + +Users need not make any changes to their systems, and the Gentoo/SPARC team +does not currently plan to remove support for the architecture.
