I'm going to answer the more general questions. |

About one EAPI per year, on average. |

They should be moved away from EAPI 0 at some point, but this needs to |
| 19 |
be coordinated with their maintainers. |

Yes, after EAPI 6 has be accepted. We shouldn't have more than three |
| 28 |
or four EAPIs in active use. |

See previous answer. (So, "no" for the upcoming council term.) |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Concerning your detailed (and sometimes very technical) questions 08 |
| 35 |
to 32 about EAPI 6, we already have a preliminary list of tentative |
| 36 |
features [1], including some from your list that were rejected for |
| 37 |
EAPI 5. This doesn't exclude that we add additional features to it, |
| 38 |
but it shouldn't be too many if we want to finalise EAPI 6 this year |
| 39 |
still. I'll make up my mind about the individual features when |
| 40 |
concrete proposals are on the table. |
