This release has a number of fixes, a couple minor regressions, but still better overall. Reproducible: Always
Why not -r1?
I'd very much like to have at least two of the regressions being fixed before this version goes stable: bug #497238 and bug #472104

Not worth waiting another 30 days for a release which hasn't happened yet.

Your re-opening it was a feature request to be able to turn off the new output. There is a patch up for review before it is merged into portage. It will likely be added to a portage-2.2.9 release. Pacho, yes, sorry, I meant it to be -r1
Stable for HPPA.
