23 Based on the 30 day rule of thumb, and assuming no critical bugs, no sooner
24 than September 11th, and eix 0.29.3's stabilization (30 day rule of thumb
25 here is September 6th) can be considered a blocker, because it has several
26 fixes for behavior that has changed between 2.1 and 2.2 that causes
27 problems for eix users (example: bug 478320 [1]). I participated in the
28 discussion about this very question a few days ago in #gentoo-portage on
29 IRC.
