After many months of work, the stabilization of TeX Live 2023 is imminent.

I would first like to thank everyone who contributed, reported bugs, and 
helped to make this happen. Special thanks goes to negril for providing 
the initial prototype ebuilds that helped to get this going.

TeX Live 2023 got a major overhaul and new tooling. User-facing 
highlights include
- all binlinks and binscripts are now properly installed and in PATH
- all manpages are now installed (due to upstream's design, only if USE=doc)
- tlmgr is now available (but forced into user mode, as done by other 
distributions)
- the tlpdb is dynamically created, texdoc works (if USE=doc)

While I do not have any reason to believe that there are remaining 
issues lurking in TeX Live 2023, I would like to use this as opportunity 
to encourage advanced users to switch to TeX Live 2023 right now. Please 
report issues that come up.

The re-keywording of TeX Live 2023 is ongoing in
                      https://bugs.gentoo.org/932752.
Unfortunately two stable arches are lacking: arm and hppa. It would be 
great If the respective arch teams could prioritize the keywording. 
Otherwise, the arches may missing out on the upcoming stabilization request.
