This sentence is very difficult to read. Also, I don't think it is relevant to call out the mistake by the QA team in a news item intended for end users. I would rewrite this as: On 2021-11-21, keywords for dev-db/mariadb-10.6 were removed to address a file collision with dev-db/mariadb-connector-c. This unintentionally triggered a version downgrade for users who had successfully upgraded to dev-db/mariadb-10.6 already. > +However, downgrades are not supported in MySQL/MariaDB [Link 2]. > + > +In case you already fully upgraded to MariaDB 10.6 (which includes > +executing mysql_upgrade command) and forcefully downgraded your > +MariaDB instance afterwards during the time window when keywords were > +removed, you maybe experiencing different problems: > + > +At best, your forcefully downgraded MariaDB instance prevented startup > +so all you have to do is upgrade to MariaDB 10.6 again to resume > +services. I don't like the phrase "forcefully downgraded" here. This implies that something happened without the user's consent. emerge would have informed them of the downgrade before it happened. I would suggest removing the word "forcefully" from these paragraphs.
