Also, ion3 was IIRC removed recently also for upstream trying to force

*waves finger at humourously* didn't even eix? .. or do i need to
sync again on this slow connection to witness insanity of pain :(

But maybe Skype is not so pressing to upgrade, just doesn't provide
distfiles anymore. Then maybe we don't have to obey, but still it's
really questionable if it should be marked stable at all.

And yeah I'm a Java dev but at least Java is now open (I admit that the
stable VM's in tree are not, yet) and I don't see that coming for Skype.
Also Java (and your examples of closed source stuff) are not infamous
for the bad stuff mentioned above.

[2] Oh noes I cited wikipedia, unreliable source of arbitrary information.

[3] Oh noes, you cited ( essentially ) open-source arbitrary information :P
