Officially the new name has only been in effect since version 6.0.0 but
having discussed this with prometheanfire on IRC, it makes sense to
extend the new name to >=5.0.0 - that way people not interested in
switching from plain PulseAudio to PipeWire can continue to use v4
(which according to upstream is now in maintenance mode, i.e. hasn't
been EOLed yet) without having to mask v5 ebuilds.
It 7 days feels like a reasonable time to wait before dropping
media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.4 from the tree because this news item will
continue to display for affected users even after the ebuild is gone,
won't it.

Title: PipeWire versions of PulseEffects are now media-sound/easyeffects

Posted: 2021-07-16
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: >=media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.0
In response to the upstream decision to rename PulseEffects to
EasyEffects we have decided to adopt the new name for versions only
supporting media-video/pipewire while retaining the old one for versions
allowing the use of media-sound/pulseaudio.
media-sound/easyeffects is already available in the tree, and all the
PipeWire-dependent ebuilds of media-sound/pulseeffects will be removed
in 7 days. Therefore, users of >=media-sound/pulseeffects-5.0.0 are
asked to emerge media-sound/easyeffects instead.
