The Display-If-Installed atom shows the news item to stable users once it's committed. I am not sure at what point does Portage show it when the atom is >= so we might want to evaluate the options. In the long term we really should have a new revision that enables something like Display-If-Installed && Display-If-Unmasked. Regards, Petteri
