You must have missed the news implied by that "following up" wording, then. See the announcement/thread "February 2014 QA policy updates", posted by creffett, just a few minutes before this thread started. http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/90291 Thus indeed, "anything but temporary" it appears to be. (Personally, FWIW, while I understood the previous policy and wasn't complaining, as a user who doesn't yet have gtk3 installed and who hopes to convert all my installed gtk dependers to gtk3 at once and kill gtk2 at the same time I install gtk3 when the time comes, I do appreciate the new policy, as it'll be that much easier to track what's pulling in one or the other during the transition period.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
