4 Hi,
5 I would like to upgrade tree-wide policy for EAPI usage in main tree.
6 Currently we say that developers can use any named version they wish or
7 find sufficient.
8 I would on other hand like to have all ebuilds to use Latest EAPI
9 version possible (given the eclasses support it [hint hint maintainers
10 of eclasses should always try to support latest :P]) with expection for
11 base-system or more specialy depgraph for portage that needs to be
12 EAPI0. [[ And here we need to find out some upgrade proccess that would
13 work for everyone so we could somehow migrate them too :)]]
14
15 With this usually new developers should be aware only of latest EAPI and
16 wont need to memorize what which EAPI support. Heck even I sometimes
17 forget what i can do with some version and whatnot.
18
19 Winner for being PITA in this race is python.eclass that HAS completely
20 different behavior based on EAPI version used...

22 Cheers
