The check was committed to repoman right after the meeting. But as there
hasn't been a release since it's not globally available. zmedico: Is
there a new release coming or should a new revision be made?

Also prepalldocs was commented from eutils.eclass for now as it solves
nothing and besides the already discovered x-modular.eclass bug we can't
be sure if there is more. This was done with blessing from dev-zero and
lu_zero so we have required council power for express action.

20:13 <@Betelgeuse> lu_zero, dev-zero: Shouldn't we nuke prepalldocs
from eutils.eclass?
20:13 <@dev-zero> Betelgeuse: yes
20:15 <@lu_zero> Betelgeuse if the implementation is broken I don't see
why not (given portage should still provide one)
