10 Ok. I guess no one else has any feelings about this.

12 Potentially doing something like:
13
14 DEPRECIATED="$DEPRECATED $ECLASS"
15
16 at the top of each deprecated eclass. In the end $DEPRECATED would have
17 a list of all the eclasses that are deprecated?
18
19 Maybe even:
20
21 DEPRECATED_MYECLASS="myreplacement"
22
23 would mean that myeclass.eclass is replaced by myreplacement.eclass ?
