You have obviously not read the relevant commit msg, reviewed the already
existing thread on -dev, or attempted to ask (and await a response) relevant
questions.

Jumping to conclusions does not help anyone.

<@zx2c4> that was supposed to be a || ( ... )
<@zx2c4> but for whatever reason the maintainer forgot that
<@zx2c4> so im going to correct that and remove eyeD3 from the list<@zx2c4> and unmask it
<@zx2c4> b-man: sound good?
<@zx2c4> slashbeast: woah look at d85e166dd999c354a5346fbb57aaaa68cc6f38ac
<@zx2c4> it's ... a lot of packages
<@zx2c4> hey removing beets too? thats not cool
<@zx2c4> and pp?
<@zx2c4> um
<@zx2c4> actually, this is ridiculous

So, clearly, you did not read the commit msg or review the thread. Magically,
you were actually going to *fix* a package and then got overwhelmed with how
many of your favorite pkgs were on the list.

Don't be lazy. Others are working to fix them and keep them around.
