-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As many of us are aware the tree is growing to a size that is really unacceptable for many. We have many packages that have excessive amounts of versions laying around that are not used any more. Many of these packages with excessive revisions most likely do not work with modern code any longer, or have security exploits or just dead upstreams that do not support them any longer that have been replaced with newer packages. Well these packages are around for stable at the moment when a newer package replaces the old and makes stable branch we need to remove the dead package. This is nothing but an attempt to start reducing the size of the tree and supported packages as a whole to improve the quality of Gentoo as a WHOLE. All packages of course need to be handled in a manner that works with maintainers/herd and the community as a whole.
