+uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since an RFC by its maintainer in Gentoo
+in Jan 2021, no one has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in
+the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc"
+profiles, which will be removed on 2022-01-01. For parties interested in
+an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported.
+
+Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its
+efforts in that area.

+- #gentoo-hardened (IRC channel on irc.libera.chat) for support and discussion
