And yes, I thought about package.mask'ing it, but that'll make the transition even more complex.

That means by using the -svn version you will get access to more recent source. The -svn version has only been tested by developers and only for a limited time. It's still package.mask'ed and will be up to the point when I push that move out. All irssi ebuilds have blockers against the other irssi packages, so no user should have several irssi packages installed at the same time and hence I should already be able to remove the package.mask entry. I don't expect it to break, but having ~arch users test it would be good. That's why the version is higher than -cvs versions, so that it gets shown to ~arch users as an update.
