I just want to say how amazed I am that you (and Arsen, too) still have the
patience to try and explain the realities of the situation like this,
especially after the eudev thread.

[gentoo-dev] Package up for grabs

2021-12-28 Thread Marc Joliet
Hello all

I'm retiring from proxy-maintainer status of app-text/asciidoc, so that'll be
up for grabs pending the completion of my final pull request (https://
github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/23553).  I need to focus my time on other
things, and I have also lost interest.  Thanks to the proxy-maint project for
their assistance and for being so pleasant to interact with.

Greetings,

My suspicion is that barely anybody actually uses that package.  No desktop 
user needs it, nothing depends on it, and AFAIR it pulls in lots of packages 
that aren't necessary, and those that are get pulled in as dependencies 
elsewhere.  I stopped installing the xorg-x11 meta-package sometime in 2009, I 
think following the X.org modularization, which was shortly before that IIRC.
