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.
