Isn't it /both/? IOW, just because portage implements it, doesn't mean |
9 |
it's usable in-tree, if it's not part of an approved EAPI. Similarly, |
10 |
approval before released support again doesn't mean it's allowed in-tree. |
11 |
Only with both is it then allowed. |
12 |
|

Leastwise, that was my read of the council decision back then. |
14 |
|
15 |
But zero-day, yes, provided it's both approved and in-portage at the same |
16 |
level (~arch or stable). |
