+# The packages are unmaintained.  GCCXML and pyplusplus were last bumped
+# to snapshots from 2013 (pygccxml was bumped in 2016).  GCCXML bundles
+# old GCC sources (4.8, most likely). In the meantime, upstream has
+# discontinued it in favor of CastXML (which uses clang).  GCCXML fails
+# tests (#629986), so does pyplusplus (#656348).  No reverse
+# dependencies outside the three packages.
+# Removal in 30 days.  Bug #683748.

 # Diverged too far from upstream Portage, and I don't have time anymore
 # to update or rebase it.  The most significant features were merged
