The profiles in default-linux/ have been deprecated for six weeks.
Users using these profiles are expected to migrate to a new profile
before 2009-12-01, at which point the default-linux/ profiles will be
removed. The new profiles contain up to date configurations and were
adopted because they were easier to maintain. Users can switch to a
new profile using eselect:

If a machine is not migrated to a new valid profile then emerge will
have very limited functionality.

I'm trying to avoid using 'you' in the announcement which is why all
the rewording.
