I was told, there was a council meeting in 2010 where people agreed, that our ebuilds should still work on a system which was not updated for 1 year.

I could not find the source, but if this is true, please document it clearly in the devmanual.

Reproducible: Always

I think this might be a duplicate of bug 821553, but I agree.
