[gentoo-dev] net-misc/zsync destiny?

[Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò]

I was just looking around in package.mask to see if I forgot to get rid
of something, and I've noticed that zsync is currently masked because it
contains an internal _vulnerable_ copy of zlib.

It is currently maintainer-needed, so I don't see anybody actually
fixing it to use system zlib anytime soon.

Any reason why it isn't simply lastrited unless someone wants to
maintain it? Treecleaners?
