We discussed that ... topic ... to death about three times over the last |

Put an EAPI-marker in a well-defined position near the top of the |
21 |
ebuild, problem solved. If it needs more it's not an ebuild anymore and |
22 |
we should consider fixing all the other annoying glitches we have at the |
23 |
same time, which causes a backwards-incompatible tree format change, |
24 |
which means we need to plan the whole thing properly. |

Trying to nail on GLEP55 is just trying to fix issues arising from not |
27 |
fixing issues properly, so *if* we want to change things for no apparent |
28 |
reason we should change them properly. |
