Some time ago, there was one bugreport[1] about obsolete mask entries in
package.mask files in diffirent profiles. Bug is assigned to QA team,
but only amd64 no-multilib profile was cleaned up, as i know.
Maybe we should add arch teams, whose profiles contains deprecated
entries, to CC on this bug

The kernel parameters are not disabled, they just have to be specifie

Starting from a question by Markos in #gentoo-portage about whether to
remove entries in profiles/updates for tree-cleaned packages...
I propose that we say, once a year, schedule a tree-cleaning of old
updates files. These updates files could be added to a tarball made
available for download. T

Then let's get UEFI support on our release media and out the box usb booting so
users don't have to go boot other livecds.

Well, if some perceived legal constraint is keeping us from doing
whatever seems to be technically most appropriate we should

I don't know the details of the issue but I know that I was prevented from
using grub on the livedvd.

What licensing issues? Just distribute the source. If the Gentoo

hardware that only boots Gentoo-signed grub b
That's what meant since we use isolinux on the release media and until
syslinux-6 we are forced to use another bootloader and grub seems out of the
questions because of licensing issues. I will test new syslinux soon and see
how isohybrid and isolinux plau together on an EFI bios.
