+Title: busybox removal from system set
+Author: Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org>
+Posted: 2021-09-24
+Revision: 1

+
+The sys-apps/busybox package has been removed from the system
+set (@system) in Linux profiles. It was decided that this package is not
+necessary for a basic system install.
+
+If you would like to keep this package installed, please ensure it is
+present in your Portage world file.
+
+  emerge --select --noreplace sys-apps/busybox
+
+As well, the "static" USE flag has been disabled by default. It may be
+re-enabled locally via package.use if so desired.
