As the Games team does not have enough manpower to keep tabs on all
games packages, we have dropped all games-* ebuilds to unstable
keywords (modulo those required by stable non-games packages).

While I accept that this will cause some irritation for the community,
pretending we have a well supported games collection by having a wealth
of stable games packages is misleading at best. By having 99% of games
be unstable, we convey the expectation users should have - namely that
games in Gentoo are not part of crucial Tier 1 packages.

We welcome contributions from outsiders willing to polish up the games
landscape in Gentoo.
