[gentoo-dev] Attn IA64&S390 devs - Marking core PHP packages stable - bug #56295 redux

As per bug #56295, I asked all arches to please work on marking PHP
packages stable.

I've had absolutely no response from anybody on the s390 or ia64 teams,
including just marking the base php packages (dev-php/php,
dev-php/mod_php) stable from their ~arch state, despite the fact that
PHP has had security advisories released since s390 and ia64 last marked a
version of PHP as stable, as well as several major bugs found and fixed.

ia64 last marked a stable version (4.3.4-r2) on 10 January 2004.
s390 last marked a stable version (4.3.6-r1) on 11 May 2004.

Given this lack of response, I'm tempted to believe s390 and ia64 are in
a similar state to mips/arm support for PHP earlier this year. I removed
the flags for those arches in January 2004, and mips has only come back
in the last month now that it's QA is up to snuff.

Well, our s390 dev is on extended leave, so you'll hear nothing from him
for a month or two...

Do we even have any s390 users?

I'm trying to clean up the old PHP eclasses and ebuilds, since many of
the existing ones suffer from security vulnerabilities and critical
bugs, and the s390/ia64 arches that have only very old PHP packages
marked as stable are in the way of this.

AFAICS, we have one or two who visit the forums and maybe another few
within IBM.

Nobody screamed when I gave s390 a newer stable vim (I had to kill some
older versions to fix the eclass), chances are you're probably safe
stabling a newer php for them. Probably better than just dropping the
keyword.

Note: this should not be taken as a blanket recommendation from me to
mess with other archs' keywords. Just s390, and only if you really
really have to, and only until Randy gets back.

Regarding ia64, sorry about the terrible lag.  It's all set now.

Ok, I'm removing the really old PHP ebuilds that s390 has as stable,
leaving them with only ~s390 ebuilds for PHP.
