Dear all, 

while we have taken a lot of time and called for feedback repeatedly, in the 
December 2015 meeting the council has decided (among other things, see [1])
* that /usr/games and /etc/games should not be used anymore
* that games.eclass should not be used anymore
* that games.eclass may not provide support for EAPI=6

This is to announce that starting with the next portage release, repoman will 
consider games.eclass deprecated and issue a QA warning if it is used in an 
ebuild.

For the council, 
Andreas
