From:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/gentoo-news.git/tree/2022-07-29-pipewire-sound-server/2022-07-29-pipewire-sound-server.en.txt

If you have any of those packages installed, the news will display.

We try to filter news so that users aren't bombarded by things that
aren't relevant to them.  For example, a few weeks ago there was
apparently a corruption in the mu MUA (which I'd never heard of),
which would be really important to know about if you were one of the
0.001% of Gentoo users who rely on it.
