I haven't looked at the upgrade path for quite a while, but it was |
| 36 |
usually a pain when portage changed its EAPI or python deps. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
While it's true that leaving old ebuilds available helps with that, |
| 39 |
it's still annoying. So if we do this, we should have a real good reason. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The council voted that EAPI 1 and 2 are discouraged. I'd argue that |
| 42 |
minimizing upgrade hassle is more worth than not using a discouraged EAPI. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
To summarize: leave it as is. |
