Hi,

I already argued in favour of both GLEP54 and GLEP55 in a council  
meeting. I'm eager to know what real problems people have with those.  
Until now, we've only seen stupid complains such as: 'changing  
extension breaks my shitty scripts', 'it looks weird', 'I don't  
understand what you are talking about, yet I want to comment', 'but  
scm means something else for me'...

Other than that, I'm looking forward to both GLEPs being accepted  
whether I make it to the council or not.

With respect to future EAPIs, from the top of my head, I'd like Gentoo  
to have:

    * USE dependencies.
    * Suggested dependencies.
    * Blockers information to the package manager.
    * Proper SCM integration with the package manager.
