19 | Because when I joined I was taught to never the API of an eclass. Now |
20 | looking at gentoo-dev people want to be doing something else. From the |
21 | log provided you can see that the council has explicitly ruled nothing |
22 | on the issue yet. I think it would be better if we had something clear |
23 | in devmanual. |
