+# NVIDIA dropped support for the 390.xx branch in December 2022[1].
+#
+# Users are free to unmask and keep using, but be warned it is very
+# likely to be affected by security issues as NVIDIA does not track
+# nor fix these for this branch anymore.
+#
+# Gentoo will keep it packaged for as long as reasonably possible
+# (albeit masked) but no true support will be given nor patches
+# for newer kernels. It is recommended to use 6.1.x LTS kernels or
+# older (6.1.x will be supported until at least December 2026).
+#
+# Major issues will lead to removal without further warning, e.g.
+# if no usable kernels left in tree, or if broken with a newer Xorg.
+#
+# >> It is recommended to switch to nouveau[2] drivers (regardless
+# of its worse performance), or ideally replace the hardware.
