9 I'm trying to avoid becoming the de facto maintainer of the thirty or
10 so apache modules that I care nothing about. The eclasses I posted to
11 the bug are a proof-of-concept for www-apache/mpm_itk, but even that
12 has a workaround allowing it to use EAPI=7 now. I haven't tested them
13 with any other packages.
14
15 Updating apache-module-r1.eclass to EAPI=8 still requires some work,
16 and then the whole thing needs to be tested by migrating a
17 representative chunk of apache-module packages to determine if the
18 idea is feasible as-is, or if the approach needs to be tweaked. Until
19 then we'd just be wasting reviewers' time.

21 I may eventually get bored enough to do all that testing, but right
22 now I have a lot of things that are actually enjoyable and/or make me
23 money in front of it on my list.
