But it was an official Gentoo project, and it was used in a repository |
| 11 |
run by the Gentoo KDE team. Remember that EAPI support is needed to be |
| 12 |
able to uninstall a package that was installed with a particular EAPI, |
| 13 |
so EAPIs can't be removed even when they're no longer in use. |

Ok, so we remove the conditionals and just keep it in unconditionally. |

Keeping it documented hurts no-one. It also reduces the amount of work |
| 21 |
we have to do as features that it has slowly end up in |
| 22 |
Portage-supported EAPIs -- EAPI 3 would have taken much longer had we |
| 23 |
had to rewrite it all from scratch. |
