Eventually, all of them.
And until then, how many users are going to get things going weirdly
wrong if workarounds aren't added to everything using the code?
6
You think there are 6 people running stable Portage? Either you think
all the users (including those installing off old stages) are running
~arch, or you think Gentoo has died, or you think everyone's moved to
Paludis...
Stupid questions deserve stupid answers. So I arbitrarily picked a
number and gave it to you.
A better statement on your part would have been "We need to ensure
compatibility for the greatest amount of users and requiring users to
have a version of Portage released after January 4th when it's only the
middle of February is not going to ensure the greatest compatibility.
The previous policy was always 6 months between breaks like this."
You're free to reword the above to however you see fit.
