+## Best last rites (removal) practices, as suggested by
+## Ryan Hill <dirtyepic@gentoo.org>
+##
+## Include the following info:
+## a) reason for masking
+## b) bug # for the removal (and yes you should have one)
+## c) date of removal (either the date or "in x days")
+## d) the word "removal"
+##
+## Example
+##
+# Dev Elepor <noname@gentoo.org> (25 Jan 2012)
+# Masked for removal in 30 days. Doesn't work
+# with new libfoo. Upstream dead, gtk-1, smells
+# funny. (bug #987654)
+#app-misc/some-package

+## End example, put the real deal below.
