It's not dead upstream, and someone (me) took the time to actually look at it and note that the issue was at least mostly addressed, except for the comment. I'm pretty sure the practices used by that ebuild are totally inappropriate in gentoo-x86 (if they had used USE flags perhaps) Packages that have no active maintainer are removed by the treecleaners all the time. The entire point of treecleaners is to either fix or remove dead packages from the tree. Then again, what's one more in my overlay of 54 packages, most of which have had valid fixes posted for months, if not years? We don't have the staff to do one-off-fixes for all these packages. They sit in maintainer-needed for months or years (as you stated above.) It becomes painfully obvious that they are not used enough to be maintained to gentoo-x86 standards which is why they get removed. I'd love to be able to say that treecleaners should never remove anything from the tree and should patch everything. However the team is small and there are hundreds of unmaintained packages in the tree so the team opts to remove packages that look too screwed up to keep. As you have noted users are encouraged to keep said packages in a personal overlay or sunrise[1].

It's not dead upstream, and someone (me) took the time to actually look at it and note that the issue was at least mostly addressed, except for the comment. Hi. Most importantly, the package had no maintainer to help it along. So, we could leave it masked indefinitely (because no dev cared enough to improve the ebuild). Or, we could remove it. Cruft in the tree is not ok because it helps no one. =/ The package was masked since March, which gives more than enough time for another dev to pick it up but since no one did, it was treecleaned. Feel free to write an ebuild for the pending version bump to 2.7.1 and then maybe one of the proxy maintainers will help you out for gentoo-x86. Also, there is the sunrise project where you can maintain it yourself: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/sunrise/ Then again, what's one more in my overlay of 54 packages, most of which have had valid fixes posted for months, if not years? Shortage of man power will do this, especially for maintainer-needed packages.

It was not my intent to personally offend you regarding this package. I know no personal offense was intended, nor was any taken. There should be a bump, but it was just frustrating that the only issue that seemed to remain was an innocuous comment within the ebuild. If that wasn't enough, it would've been nice to know what the objections were before whacking it.
