Title: Most stable hppa keywords removed
Author: Matt Turner <mattst88@gentoo.org>
Posted: 2020-12-26
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Keyword: hppa

The Gentoo/HPPA team no longer thinks that the time invested in
package stabilization is warranted for the small number of users on
HPPA. As a result, we will drop most "hppa" keywords to "~hppa" on
2020-12-31. Around 850 packages will retain their stable keywords.

Users need not make any changes to their systems—other than perhaps
adding some entries to their package.accept_keywords file. The
Gentoo/HPPA team has no plans to remove support for the architecture.

Here's the GitHub PR I've made for stable masking a bunch of flags and
dropping keywords: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/18798
