x86, the 32 bit variety, is still popular at the low power end of the spectrum for things like network appliances. Not the sort of hardware you would play many games on these days. Proceed with caution. Mask them and leave them in the tree. Wait and see who shouts, if anyone. Low power systems don't get updated terribly regularly, so be prepared to leave the packages in the tree for a lot longer than the customary 30 days. > > Many of them are still at EAPI 0; some were ported to newer EAPIs > specifically to clean old EAPIs. > > I've already cleaned up some false positives (like svgalib).
