Removing code that is working perfectly fine (at least, I don't see any open bug for ltprune.eclass) doesn't look like the right instrument to inform maintainers about a potential QA issue. After all, the eclass has a warning in its description that is hard to miss. OTOH, nobody has spoken up when the patch that deprecated the eclass in EAPI 7 was posted [1]. So maybe we should wait for a couple of valid use cases to be raised, before discussing this further. Ulrich [1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/message/a5df51aa115c31737d54ece23446db76
