It's been masked for a week, but I doubt anyone has been able to compile
it for much longer than that :-).
Anyway, when I say "remove shortly" I am thinking a couple of weeks.

Hello there,
plex86 has many issues and no simple solution to all of them. Considering the
amount of very old kernel code it has, including the way it deals with devfs,
for example, it does not look like it will be easy to fix.
plex86 has three outstanding bugs at the time of this writing: bug 5

Dropped the symcmd function, cleaned up the treecopy function (Martin, take a
look at cp --parent, what treecopy does is jus
Assuming, as I do... that ~arch is utf-8 clean, it must not be that
wierd a character, and therefore, probably acceptable for sed also.

Doesn't work for N arches keywording, or ebuild dev doing minor

How about if the maintainer wants wider testing, i.e. wants to move
it out of package.mask and into ~arch but isn't confident it's ready
yet for arch, adding a string variable to ebuilds indicating why the
maintainer considers the package unstable, eg:
UNSTABLE="#100435, #100345, unconfirmed break

I'm a large user of these, but for rats there really isn't any
maintaining to do, upstream hasn't changed the code in 18+ months, and
it works
