Upgrading happens between two versions. |

When a new version comes out, we should educate developers about it and |
| 11 |
encourage them to convert their ebuilds to use new EAPI. |
| 12 |
When this finished, we can start upgrading to a more new version of EAPI. |
| 13 |
IMHO, that should be the right way to go. |
| 14 |
However, I think there is still devs don't know about EAPI-1. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If we allow multiple EAPI's to co-exist, do we need a upper limit on that |
| 17 |
number? Or as many as someone likes? then our tree IMO will become a total |
| 18 |
mess. People will not remember clearly differences between so many EAPI's. |
