<URL:http://tinyurl.com/ypoxyg> is a list of closed security bugs where mips is still cced. 163 is the total number, where surely some duplicates can be found (PHP, Mozilla products), but we can assume that quite an extensive number of packages which are vulnerable stay still in the tree. Normal policy is to remove all vulnerable ebuilds which is not possible if a vulnerable version is the only one keyworded mips. This would break an even bigger rule. We are not here to accuse anyone but to find a solution to this problem...and no, I am not in the (financial) position to buy MIPS hardware nor am I really interested in having it.
