Some masked packages in x11-proto/ (they are consolidated in x11-base/xorg-proto) do not get removed with "emerge --depclean" since the package was not revbumped. Manual rebuild of package is required. Do other versions of the same package require a revbump, too?

Thanks for the report. Revbumping 1.5.1 is easy, and should be done asap. For 1.4.9 and 1.4.10 its different. They use deprecated EAPI5 so revbump would need EAPI bump, which drops 1.4.9 from stable, and pretty much requires a complete re-write for both of them (lots of deprecated functions).

^ Thats the "schoolbook" method and since Im not a dev, I cant go around it :)
If a developer would bump them, it would be the best.

But for future, Im trying to re-keyword 1.5.1 for all supported arches. Then stabilize it for amd64 and x86, which makes possible to drop 1.4.x from the tree.
