To prevent OpenRC users from installing this version because it's an old UPower with no pm-utils support, with no hibernate/suspend support, to ensure desktops don't end up with greyed out Hibernate/Suspend buttons To direct users to upower-pm-utils, or upower-0.99.0, or plain pm-utils, or other To indicate OpenRC users can't stay with sys-power/upower older than 0.99.0 because they are going away, to indicate this is the best time to make informed decision and take manual action regarding choosing which features set he/she wants, to read up upstream announcements regarding UPower, to follow-up and do what admins do - Samuli
