+# Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org> (09 Mar 2019)
+# According to bug #678914, our version is over 5 years old.  It has
+# open bugs (#671742, #671990) and is non-trivial to bump due to being
+# merged into schily-tools (#672060).  It lacks dedicated maintainer
+# interested in doing that.  app-arch/tar (GPL) and app-arch/libarchive
+# (BSD) are good replacements for modern uses.
+# Removal in 30 days.  Bug #679030.
