We need this version dropped to finally drop libgksu dependency (that is completely dead, unmaintained and vulnerable for years)

Thanks

REFERENCE:

Bug 616958 :  12.5.7 version bump

Hi, Pacho,

these old versions 
- are already hard-masked in 
- and shall be deleted from
Main Portage Tree
and 
- are not contained in the OVERLAY any more.

To me, this bug seems to be FIXED / OBSOLETE.

VMware Products have been removed from Main Portage Tree during Nov-2017.

Further development has been relegated to [vmware] Overlay.
