I'll bite :) |

Version numbers aren't metadata because they uniquely identify the |
| 11 |
ebuild/package. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
EAPI on the other hand brings no such information to identify the |
| 14 |
package. Furthermore, the GLEP proposes that no 2 ebuilds with the exact |
| 15 |
same version may exist regardless of different EAPIs. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In the end, ${CATEGORY}/${PF} is like the key in a RDB table. The EAPI |
| 18 |
is just extra info. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I'll just wrap this up by saying that I don't have an opinion on whether |
| 21 |
putting the EAPI inside the ebuild or outside is better for the complex |
| 22 |
operations involved in portage. I'll leave that to the more informed devs :) |
