+Title: alpha, ia64: maintainers may remove stable versions
+Author: Andreas K. Huettel <dilfridge@gentoo.org>
+Content-Type: text/plain
+Posted: 2013-10-24
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 1.0
+Display-If-Keyword: alpha
+Display-If-Keyword: ia64
+
+Following discussion [1] and a vote by the Gentoo Council [2,3], 
+on alpha and ia64 package maintainers are allowed to remove
+the last stable version of a package under certain circumstances
+(basically when it is outdated and the stablerequest for a newer
+version on alpha or ia64 has been pending for a while; for the 
+details, see [2,3]).
+
+You should be aware that this may occasionally cause broken
+dependencies and/or require keywording of packages for stable 
+users. Then again, things may work out fine just as well.
