17 By the time EAPI=6* would happen we should have a git tree so we'd
18 just fork the tree for EAPI=6-dependencies. :)

20 A change like this would *NEED* a long-term test phase with a lot of
21 developer participation, so if we were to consider it we'd need to
22 fork the tree and implement/maintain it in parallel to main tree
23 maintenance, imo. A translation script could probably also be used to
24 convert *DEPEND into DEPENDENCIES automatically for any packages that
25 dev's aren't manually managing...
26
27 ...But I digress; we're nowhere near doing this yet.
