+# Deprecated upstream in Q1'2018 in favour of dev-libs/intel-neo and
+# while it officially remains the recommended solution for "legacy HW
+# platforms" not supported by NEO (i.e. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and
+# Haswell GPUs), there has been no repository activity since August 2018.
+# Only really suitable for code development due to poor performance, some
+# OpenCL-aware software (e.g. media-gfx/darktable) explicitly
+# blacklists Beignet devices.
+# Upstream does not support LLVM versions newer than 7, third-party patches
+# exist for 8 and 9 but Beignet built against those versions fails some
+# unit tests.
+#
+# Removal in 30 days. Bug #710640.

# app-admin/packagekit-base is Python 2 only and behind upstream.
# The Portage backend is unmaintained. Other packages are its reverse
