23 The council decision should probably have had more text on what to do to
24 existing usage bug I don't think we spent time on that yet and probably
25 should in the next meeting. Until we decide how things need to be
26 changed IMHO the existing ebuilds can stay as they are as I don't think
27 we should be spending time removing the usage just to find out that we
28 will for example move the function to eclasses so the ebuilds won't need
29 to be modified.
