Mask in the CVS tree?! Hmmm, there are tons of broken junk long dead upstream in the tree that doesn't even compile - guess what - not masked and noone's caring. Why on earth would you mask a working package with extremely active maintainer in CVS - just because you don't have a use for it? So why don't you mask it for yourself if you don't have any use for it? The time spent on this ML debate would IMHO be better spent on fixing the dependencies in the tree for stuff that doesn't work w/ python-2 and yet has unversioned or >=3D deps in ebuilds and such.
