11 There's been threads on gentoo-dev that it will become hard for
12 developers to know the differences between all EAPIs when the number of
13 EAPIs increases. In order to help day to day development it's easiest
14 usually use the latest EAPI but I don't think we have a written down
15 policy in our documentation on what EAPI to use. If this is an issue, we
16 can put it on the agenda for the next council meeting.
