Nope and they should usually be kept but we can't make a hard rule because there are cases where the old ebuilds don't work any more. If you find that a broken version slipped the cracks of the arch teams and made it to stable with the old version removed, file a bug to bugs.gentoo.org and hopefully the maintainer learns from his/her mistake of removing it too soon. If the maintainer keeps on doing the same thing, then you can try to escalate things to qa/devrel. If you are using ~arch, then encountering some broken stuff is fully expected, just file a bug and the maintainer is expected to react in a timely manner. Regards, Petteri
