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.

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.
