14 Here's option 3:
15 In a few days the "one year waiting time" after making EAPI5 profiles the
16 default is over, and (pending revisit by the council and agreement) the whole
17 profiles tree can be switched to EAPI5.
18 This means the files from the eapi-5-files directory move to a more central
19 location and the eapi-5-files directory can be removed.
20 With that change the arch dirs automatically also become EAPI5 capable if done
21 properly.
