+# net-libs/ftplib: Unmaintained.  The ebuild suffers build failures due
+# to broken multilib conversion.  Last bumped in 2014, and needs local
+# patches to even work.  Obscure library with only two revdeps.

+# media-video/hasciicam: Unmaintained.  The only unconditional revdep

 # Unmaintained.  Does not build (again).  Last release in 2000.  Carries
 # a large number of patches already.
