A user has stated this in a thread. Could someone respond please?
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-510146.html"I suggest that the devs don't hard mask packages, especially ones depended on by several other ebuilds, until notice has been given in the GWN's pending package removal section. If proper notice were given, then there would be much less user outrage when they suddenly can't update their systems after syncing their portage tree."
