So, I was highlighting a problem. No one wants to write docs, which is
quite bad for the health of Gentoo.

Yes, correct. For some reason, I thought it was valid to use eqawarn in
ebuilds. Now I guess a valid fix for eutils.eclass would be:

%% cvs di eutils.eclass

(where einfo is used because it doesn't need to be logged)
