package.provided:
YMMV, but here

In fact, Gentoo has been forked in this way at least three times. The
first time was over 20 years ago, before 2004 as I remember researching it
before I switched
Sorry but I wanted to add something to what is written below:
I'll insist as other did before: An other alternative would be to start
your own overlay, push something to help Gentoo's dev, anything, because
saying more or less "Do that because actually it's bad" is something
rarely
Helping with any of these three would certainly be reasonable. But
demanding a *LOT* of work to alternative-force an already attack-reverted
package, when we actually KNOW about that one, it's reverted to pre-attack
and there's likely to be no more mischief there /because/ everybody's
looking

FWIW, feel free to do that bug-fix or package-bump if you'd rather instead
of reading this long thing! I won't complain! =:^)
IMO...
The thing

Agreed with the whole thing and the above is a bit of an aside from the
thread, but it's worth repeating!
Thanks devs! (And security contributors, infra providers, testers,
tinder-box runners, bug
