Hi, I would like to last-rite <net-libs/zeromq-4. Only dev-perl/ZMQ-LibZMQ3 used by mail-filter/amavisd-new is still depending on zeromq-3. Others have already removed zeromq support from amavisd-new. Can we do the same or do you consider this as a critical feature we cannot get rid of?
I admit I do not rightly know why amavis has this dependency, other than 0MQ being used in amavisd, amavisd-status and amavisd-snmp-subagent-zmq, the latter not being deployed on Gentoo anyway. 0MQ support was added in version 2.8 (anno 2012). I'd have to ask around if it is still relevant.
I've opened an upstream issue: https://gitlab.com/amavis/amavis/-/issues/66
It has now been four weeks, but there was less upstream feedback than I had hoped for. If that does not change, we will likely need to find a Gentoo-specific approach.

Possibly better is a news item, although it's a bit niche, we can only show it if users have it installed.
pkg_postinst and only showing for <$PV-with-this-change should be enough. But because it is hidden behind a USE flag I would just drop it in a rev bump straight to stable.
Based on Thomas' suggestion, I have created a pull request which renders the "zmq" USE flag obsolete and drops the associated ebuild content.
