19 I can't speak for other maintainers, but I thank each bug reporter
20 that I work with; ~arch users *are* important because their (and our)
21 testing is what allows us to even *have* a stable set of packages.

23 That said, I wouldn't feel comfortable writing EAPI 6 ebuilds on
24 packages with any stable dependencies. At least for the time being; I
25 wouldn't want to disturb stable users. But once EAPI 6-compatible
26 portage is stabilized, I see no issue.
