+# Stagnant upstream with latest release from 2016, python2-only, no maintainer
+# in Gentoo, no notable ebuild action in years, multiple bugs open. Blocks
+# pygtk removal.
+# Switch to alternatives such as,
+# net-misc/connman, net-misc/dhcpcd, net-misc/netifrc, net-misc/NetworkManager
+# and so on. Removal in ~90 days. #708316

# Fails to build for at least 6 months. No Python 3 support. Last
