I have attached this news item to hardened profiles, even though there
is nothing in those profiles which enforces this USE flag any more. An
alternative would be to attach it to all the packages with this flag in
IUSE but it feels like it might generate too much noise.

Regarding the USE-flag change itself, my plan is to temporarily add the
REQUIRED_USE compatibility guard to libffi (as suggested by slyfox) and
simply rename the flag everywhere else.

On 2021-07-01 the USE flag 'pax_kernel' will be renamed to 'pax-kernel'
in order to remove the disallowed underscore character. If you use
a PaX-enabled kernel, update your package-manager configuration
accordingly; failure to do so might result in affected packages no
longer functioning on your system.
