Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-04-03 06:21:29 UTC 
The HOMEPAGE does not announce intermittent minor releases that fix important issues in major releases. Currently, that's 19.3.6.7 whereas we distribute 19.3 and 20.3 whereas we distribute 20.3.2.

This is not a regression over current stable

Anyway, this is maintainer-needed, then, anyone can make the switch whenever they have time and, of course, we can stabilize that version to finally solve it
