After discussion in #gentoo-council, we add another ban to the list: |

b) Ban useq, hasq, and hasv functions |

Bug #199722 [15] |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As for the rationale, functions useq and hasq are deprecated since at |
| 14 |
least 2011. In the Gentoo repo, hasq is no longer used since 2011. |
| 15 |
useq is no longer used since March 2020 (in one single package, all |
| 16 |
other uses are gone since 2011). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
hasv isn't deprecated, but was _never_ used in the Gentoo repo. Also, |
| 19 |
its arguments would become inconsistent with usev, because the latter |
| 20 |
function will gain an optional second argument in EAPI 8 (item 2g). |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Please speak up if you can come up with a possible use case for hasv, |
| 23 |
but bear in mind that has&&echo is a trivial replacement. |
