Works for me. However, I would write dev-db/mariadb:10.6. Is that acceptable for you?


I don't like the phrase "forcefully downgraded" here. This implies
that something happened without the user's consent. emerge would have
informed them of the downgrade before it happened. I would suggest
removing the word "forcefully" from these paragraphs.

If you do a normal world upgrade, this is the default portage behavior, not? I.e. package manager will downgrade if you don't stop. And especially on servers, people tend to use cronjobs/scripts to do that...

And forcefully here refers to the undesirable result (at least that was my intention). Something the user doesn't want.
