32 I would like to have the council discuss this issue again. We should
33 probably also address the issue of EAPI changes in eclasses that was

38 Let's add to the agenda the use of the invalid DEPEND atom

41 I cross-posted this email to both gentoo-dev and gentoo-council mls as
42 Brian used the former and Alex started this thread in the latter. Which
43 ML do we want to use?
