9 So after you ignore my other stuff: Profiles are part of the PMS
10 specification, so any changes that go in there have to be EAPI
11 scheduled and cried over for a bit, and probably GLEPs and stuff also.

13 I guess portage could informally support it prior to any such
14 specification materialising, but it would have to be forbidden in the
15 main tree until such a specification was defined, or the portage tree
16 would become PMS in-compatible.
