Fair enough, but there is a lack of coordination there (who started the mess is irrelevant), leaving as only choices: unmask ft/fc or mask a good part of the multilib x11 stuff. The current situation is broken. I suppose you talked with Michal about this and couldn't reach an agreement, like him joining the fonts herd, or at least the mail alias to monitor ft/fc bugs. If you want I can join the fonts herd also, I already have a foot in there for some small packages used within texlive anyway. > And I'd rather see this developed in an overlay instead, as I have > said before.

Also, I believe we are at the step "it is mature enough to give it a wide ~arch testing"; otherwise we may just repeat multilib-portage history and have it in an overlay for several years to never give it wide adoption in the end.
