I agree with you, I was focusing on that concrete issue as that bug is around for years, but I neither understand why games.eclass is not deprecated completely as current situation will only spread the problem of some games being handled following a different policy than others, and leading to inconsistencies :( But I must admit I lost the track of this issue some time ago and I don't remember why the eclass is still allowed and then both policies are being used in parallel depending on the maintainer, that is the reason I haven't suggested the Council to deprecate games.eclass finally :/
[gentoo-dev] last rites: obsolete and vulnerable x11-base/xorg-server versions and packages which depend on them
In the face of recent security bugs in x11-base/xorg-server, x11 team has decided to drop most of the older versions. Going forward, we will keep 1.12 in the tree for some more time, as a few drivers still depend on it. 1.15 will also be kept for some time after 1.16 goes stable, as long as it is easy enough to backport security patches to it. But both will be masked and dropped as soon as they become too much of a maintenance burden. Today's last rites will affect mostly users of Intel's (Poulsbo/Cedarview) proprietary graphics drivers of which there are hopefully not too many. # Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn chith...@gentoo.org (10 Jan 2015) # obsolete and vulnerable, bug #532086 # removal in 30 days =x11-base/xorg-server-1.9* =x11-base/xorg-server-1.10* =x11-base/xorg-server-1.11* =x11-base/xorg-server-1.13* =x11-base/xorg-server-1.14* # Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn chith...@gentoo.org (10 Jan 2015) # requires obsolete and vulnerable xorg-server, bug #532086 # removal in 30 days x11-drivers/psb-firmware x11-drivers/xf86-input-citron x11-drivers/xf86-video-cyrix x11-drivers/xf86-video-impact x11-drivers/xf86-video-nsc x11-drivers/xf86-video-sunbw2 x11-libs/libdrm-poulsbo x11-libs/xpsb-glx
