The Gentoo/SPARC team has decided that the time invested in package stabilization is no longer justified by the small number of users on the SPARC architecture. In addition, Gentoo currently lacks a working stable development machine.

As a result, all "sparc" keywords will be changed to "~sparc" on 2025-09-01, with the "~sparc" keyword added to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS in the profile.

Users need not make any changes to their systems, and the Gentoo/SPARC team does not currently plan to remove support for the architecture.
