As much as you love to have the new and shiny VDB2, it is far off. |

Prototyping and drafting implementations would be great to have some |
| 16 |
base where we can discuss on (in a civil manner). So having this |
| 17 |
timestamp would be a good way to prepare a sane migration path. In the |
| 18 |
end we have to care for our users and EAPI was just provided to have a |
| 19 |
clear way. |
