Was use by the long gone farsight1, which is no longer in the tree, should
have died along with it.

I am sorry, but i am the maintainer of dev-libs/jthread and you forgot to add me in CC. And i am strongly against of removing them unless there are severe breakages in them.

Is there some other reason than 'no reverse dependencies in tree' for removing this libs?

Will proceed with unmasking in a week if nobody answers.

what's the point of saving the library? isn't it orphan, as in, has no in-tree consumers?
and if it was part of farsight1, isn't the upstream also dead then and if it's orphan currently, the library usage should be discouraged for new development by removing it from the tree?

I use jthread in one of my little projects. I do not mind about nuking jrtplib - it's maintainer-needed@, but if jthread has no issues with security or serious build/run-time failures, i would prefer to keep it in main tree.

Dead upstream is not sufficient to remove package from tree IMO.
