Title: kjots/knotes EOL, KDE PIM x86 support dropped

app-text/kjots and kde-apps/knotes EOL
======================================
These packages have been declared unmaintained by upstream. As of KDE PIM
24.08.x, both packages are still runnable, but this is unlikely to continue
with the next KDE PIM release. As they both rely on kde-apps/akonadi, that
will be the end of the road.
app-text/marknote[1] is available as a replacement and it can import notes
from both legacy applications. It does not even require a running akonadi
instance for that.
KDE PIM x86 support to be dropped
=================================
Building dev-qt/qtwebengine on x86 and 32-bit arches in general has been
problematic for a long time - essentially, successful build depends on
64-bit host[2]. Thus, in addition to x86 stable keyword being dropped, any
dev-qt/qtwebengine consumers have been in package.mask on x86 profile for
1.5 years.
With dev-qt/qtwebengine:6, x86 was not keyworded anymore, and consequently,
KDE PIM has to follow suit. KDE PIM 23.08.5 will be cleaned up[3] soon after
stabilisation of KDE PIM 24.05.2, so *now* is the time - for anyone still
managing to even run it on x86 - to export their data and migrate elsewhere.
kde-apps/pim-data-exporter exists for that purpose.
