11 No need to have a fight.

13 If there are reasons not to move everything into the EAPI they should
14 be discussed. It takes months to implement a new EAPI in general so
15 the eclass maintainers will be involved I'm sure and everybody can
16 coordinate nicely.

18 And the Council already approves all EAPIs, so if for whatever reason
19 there is a need to make a call they can do so.

21 There is no need to argue about hypothetical domains of authority.
22 Let's instead focus on what is the best way to move forward, hope for
23 consensus, and then deal with disagreement only when that time comes.
