No, it's to remove the packages that have problems, that requires dependencies that are badly broken (transcode 0.6 is a pain to manage, does not work with GCC4 and it's not easily fixable, and upstream moved to transcode 1), that requires maintenance and nobody can give it, and that might be replaced by other programs with way less troubles...
If you want to maintain that, no need for it to be removed... atm it's going to be unmaintained in the tree, full of problems, and requires us to not plan of dropping transcode 0.6. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ Gentoo/ALT lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE
