Yes, I can confirm that. emerge --search gaim brings up

I do know about the pidgin/gaim thing from reading this mailing list.
But even in my recent emerge --update --deep world the fact that gaim
is hardmasked was not mentioned. For example, emerge --pretend
--update --deep world only mentions the following
[10:55 AM]wwong ~ $ emerge --pretend --update --deep world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!

Only if I directly specify emerge gaim or emerge --emptytree world
will it show the warning that "All ebuilds that could satisfy gaim
have been masked".
