Hi everyone,

Can I get feedback on the following news item?  (BTW, thanks soap)

Title: uClibc-ng retirement on 2023/01/01
Author: Anthony G. Basile <bluen...@gentoo.org>
Posted: 2021-08-15
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Profile: default/linux/uclibc/*

uClibc-ng is mostly abandoned upstream, and since my RFC in Jan 2021,
noone has volunteered to step up maintenance or expressed interest in
the uClibc-ng profiles. With this announcement we last-rite the "uclibc"
profiles, which will be removed on 2023/01/01. For parties interested in
an alternative libc, consider moving to musl, which is supported.

Gentoo continues to wholeheartedly support musl and is focusing its
efforts in that area.

discussion
