16 Indeed, as pointed out in the other thread on -dev; there are multiple
17 possibilities here:
18
19 1. an edit to an existing ebuild;
20
21 2. a revision bump;
22
23 3. a version bump.
24
25 Definitely would want to ban (3), I think banning (2) might be possible
26 too if we expect developers to bump EAPI as they revision bump (and
27 perhaps give the exception for critical security fixes to not have to
28 bump the EAPI), banning (1) gets a bit more tricky.
