6 Because Arfrever isn't a developer anymore, none of the other
7 developers are very familiar with the eclass code, and we'd really
8 like to limit any additional complexity introduced now (because we'd
9 like to start removing complexity from it soonish). So I've been
10 reviewing the patches carefully before committing them, and that takes
11 time. I was on holiday for the past two weeks, but I will try to
12 continue tomorrow.
