I'm sure that that felt a little sudden for people using the overlay and not running ~portage. (Of source, running ~arch mixed ~arch and arch systems is not supported but let's face it, we all do it). Is it possible to give more warning than this? For example, can overlays push to enews? I mean, just to people actually using the overlay -- so people with the kde overlay would get kde-overlay enews, but others would not. ALSO: Shouldn't this kind of change come with updated DEPEND or EAPI? Either/or would bump portage, and that is what these things are for.
