The question is not about crap in the upstream, but about changed dependencies, behavior, whatever else. E.g. we in downstream have some patches, when upstream changes related code (e.g. applying our patches), ebuild fails to build. Everything in live ebuild can change, so it will fail. It can be not crap, but some improvements, but it does not matter for the possibility of building of a given ebuild. -- Jauhien
