Hi,

toolchain@ would appreciate if folks could keyword glibc-2.34 locally
on non-production machines to help root out any bugs.

The tracker bug is doing pretty well at this point with most remaining
issues being in last-rited packages or being tracked upstream:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/803482.

There are no plans to keyword glibc-2.34 yet given there's
a few large changes and we've not yet got over the libxcrypt
hump (that's coming very shortly, stabilisation planned for
2021-11-01!). But you can't start planning too early ;)

I would not recommend doing this on a machine
with Chromium or anything Electron based for now
as I haven't had a chance to check if the sandbox stuff
has been updated. I _think_ Firefox is fine now (at least
in the latest versions >= 91?).

If you're able, please therefore keyword glibc-2.34 on
systems where you're up for a bit of experimentation,
and ideally rebuild (-ev @world) and report any bugs.

If you feel generous, run FEATURES=test on some/all
stuff too.

Please drop into #gentoo-toolchain if you have any
questions or issues we need to debug together.

Cheers!

Best,
sam
