# Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> (13 Apr 2019)
+# Unmaintained. Contains vulnerable code and a large number of unsolved
+# (upstream) issues, including licensing issues that prevented Debian
+# from including it. The current version is from 2004, and carries
+# some local patches. Last upstream commits are from 2013, and involve
+# three successive branches, the 0.7.x not having a release since 2004,
+# and the two remaining branches never seeing a single release.
+# The suggested alternatives are net-analyzer/{netcat,openbsd-netcat}.
+# Removal in 30 days. Bug #601742.

# net-libs/ftplib: Unmaintained. The ebuild suffers build failures due
# to broken multilib conversion. Last bumped in 2014, and needs local
# patches to even work. Obscure library with only two revdeps.
