Problem: Gentooers are conditioned to consider -r1 a version indicator, making "python-r1" the closest back-reference to which "This version" can refer. At least here that was rather confusing, because on first parse it looked as if python-r1 (the eclass family) is only getting security updates, in which case why is python 3.2 being removed from it? Solution: Make explicit that it's python 3.2 that is security-update only. One possible rewrite (which also changes the order quite a bit and with it the emphasis, don't know if that's desired but it appears to do the job from here): Python 3.2, now security-update-only as it's nearing end-of-life, will be dropped from the python-r1 family of eclasses at the same time. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
