Most of the porting work has been done, however it still needs much
testing before it can be considered stable. -r16 is masked because half
of the ebuild was rewritten for python-2.3 and in some cases these
changes can break portage. However, only -r14 and -r16 currently work
with python-2.3.

Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.
