Why don't you explain why, historically, you put that in the tree? It
would help us now if you were to simply record your mistakes for
everybody else to easily avoid. It's still being used in the tree and
should be discouraged.

Loosening VERSION requirements won't fix the problem. This will:

1) Discourage its use by putting a QA ewarn in the eclass.
2) Have all ebuilds converted either through QA bugs or a nice Saturday
afternoon coding spree.
3) Announce its removal.
4) Remove.
