I'd rather argue in terms of time instead of version numbers, because |
| 13 |
of the upgrade path for old systems. We guarantee one year for stable |
| 14 |
systems, but IMHO we should be more conservative for EAPI deprecation |
| 15 |
and go for two or three years there. |

Anyway, the Portage version supporting EAPI 4 became stable on |
| 18 |
2011-03-17 [1], so it looks like EAPI 3 could be deprecated soon. |
