Um, you should rename (e.g. datecode) it, if you put it in your overlay. |

User's overlay is nothing we have to care about. If you want to be absolutely |
| 9 |
safe, then use a snapshot, otherwise live with it, that Gentoo is a moving |
| 10 |
target. I can't see a benefit in eclass versioning, that outweighs the added |
| 11 |
maintenance overhead. If a new eclass is really needed, then it's always |
| 12 |
possible to add one, anyways. All eclasses have to be compatible to all |
| 13 |
ebuilds in the Portage tree, if not, open a bug report. |
