dev-python/certifi in 9999 version now unmasked, and it seems like typo. It should be masked like any other 9999 package.

Does not look like a live ebuild to me. The version is misleading, though.
I propose a flashmob - make all ebuilds versions equal to 9999 and stabilize them. For the great justice in the name of moon.
Why do not set version to 9998? 9999 is have known association with live ebuilds and completely misleading

(In reply to Reva Denis from comment #3) > Why do not set version to 9998? Yeah, to make room for one version increment before the mess. =) A guy on russian linux forum asks: will this 9999 be final version (i.e. author comprehended zen and is ready to die) or how future revisions will be numerated?
To be clear, the issue here was that it needed to version *above* the real upstream certifi package because ours was a shim. It's exactly the same as dev-perl/Mozilla-CA.
