# Tavis Ormandy <taviso@gentoo.org> (21 Mar 2006)
# masked pending unresolved security issues #125902
games-util/hearse

This was originally masked as reverse dependency of games-roguelike/nethack, see bug 125902 comment 17. However, bug 125902 comment 112 and following seem to indicate that unmasking hearse would expose users to security problems.

Please decide what shall happen with this package. Shall it be unmasked, removed, or stay in the tree permanently masked? In the last case, please update the masking comment.

CC'ing treecleaners.

Please remove this package. The games team doesn't care about it, and using it poses a high security risk (not due to a code bug, but by design).
