Ok, I dunno how many times me and Weeve have said this now, but it's
still being ignored...

FOLLOW THE FRICKIN' POLICY WHEN REMOVING EBUILDS

In particular:

1) Don't remove the highest stable version for any arch

2) Don't remove the highest ~arch version for any arch unless there is a
higher stable version for that arch. Exception: you're deliberately
forcing a downgrade because you committed something really broken to
~arch.

It really isn't funny when the arch teams have to spend more time fixing
screwups caused by developers not following keyword policy than working
on useful stuff. I don't care if being careful involves slightly more
work on your part -- identifying and fixing the screwups you caused not
only takes a lot more effort from a lot more people, it also impacts end
user systems. Stop being so damned rude.
