5 I would like to put forward the following suggestion for the Council's
6 consideration:
7
8 "While the current state of PMS is not perfect, it is a reasonably
9 close approximation to existing and historical behaviour of EAPI 0.
10 Given this, and that getting a perfect definition is not feasible on a
11 timescale shorter than several years, it should be treated as a draft
12 standard, and any deviations from it found in the gentoo tree or
13 package managers should have a bug filed against either the deviator
14 or PMS to resolve the differences.
15
16 "On the differences between EAPI 0 and EAPI 1, a much smaller topic,
17 it is complete and can stand as a full specification"
18
19 Alternatively, what (specific) changes are required to PMS before such
20 a statement can be made?
