+# Our version is seriously outdated and has numerous bugs reported,
+# including multilib-strict failures preventing it from being installed
+# on any modern system.  It has not been touched since 2016, and is
+# many releases behind upstream.  Furthermore, upstream has discontinued
+# it in favor of eeCodes.
+# Removal in 30 days.  Bug #628746.
