x11-wm/fvwm is unmaintained in Gentoo, is not supported upstream, and has a modern successor that does not bring in additional dependencies. This bug is to track blockers on the removal of the package, particularly keywording and stabilising fvwm3 where required.

last rites email sent; package masked with removal for 2025-05-28. I'll ensure that sparc is keyworded in the meantime, alpha can follow along "eventually"; when someone is interested.

Have asked if there's a canonical source upstream; all resources currently use the debian packaging, last updated in ~2007.
