Well, it is pretty stable.  The main thing is it hasn't gotten any
bug-fixes, either.  Of course, you've probably also worked out any bugs
that you had with it long ago.

Well, it'll never be "required" since it is open source.  However,
"upstream" (as in the catalyst developers) are moving forward and we
will stop offering catalyst 1.x within the next month.  While you're
definitely welcome to keep using it, consider this your notice to keep a
local copy of the ebuilds and the distfiles.

Well, catalyst 2.x has definitely had its share.  I mean, would we be on
release candidate *50* if it hadn't?  ;]
