This is a Gentoo distribution thing. I interpret it mostly as a quality bar. See: https://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html#moving-from-arch-to-arch https://devmanual.gentoo.org/keywording/index.html#moving-fr... One of the requirements of being in arch (vs. ~arch) is not having any ~arch dependencies, so that's the first direct issue with Julia moving from ~arch to arch. (Also, I don't feel particularly bad about pulling in a package or two from ~arch.)

Ok, makes sense, thank you - personally, I agree with the current approach (that basically says "hey, careful, there might be complications) :) Yeah, in general I'm ok as well about using in some cases one or two direct "~"/unstable-packages, but historically I always got "burned" when using more than 3-4, therefore nowadays, being older and hopefully a little bit more wise, I'm super-extra-cautious :)
