+# sys-boot/plymouth is unmaintained since Apr 2016. The current version
+# has multiple bugs, including not supporting OpenRC. It really needs
+# an active maintainer. Removal in 30 days. Bug #621470.
+#
+# The remaining packages are sys-boot/plymouth reverse dependencies.
+# They have no use without it, so they are being removed as well.
