Adding deprecation info directly into the eclass file feels wrong to me. |

(Eclasses are free software after all and can be reused - ok, nobody will |
| 8 |
ever do that, but we're talking theory here - so we shouldn't put Gentoo |
| 9 |
policy in there.) |

What about /usr/portage/profiles/deprecated_eclasses looking like |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
old_eclass_1,old_eclass_2:new_eclass_1,new_eclass_2 |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
indicating that the old_eclasses have been deprecated by the new_eclasses. |
| 16 |
Having multiple eclasses deprecated by multiple eclasses may not be that |
| 17 |
common, but this kind of syntax allows for some grouping of related eclasses |
| 18 |
being replaced together. |
