This would (over time) stop new ebuilds of the broken form appearing, and would flag existing ones as a QA violation. It would also prevent the mistake from being made in future, and seems the best and easiest place to stem the flow from. Whilst not a conspiracy theorist, and whilst also agreeing with the decision to restrict multiple suffixes of certain types, I am a little concerned over the haste, announcement to -dev and general backlash that's been seen here. I'm sure other violations never featured such dramatic measures. How were they dealt with previously?
