The kernel ( along with QA ) has reported that the portage generated $KV |
| 2 |
is sometimes quite horribly wrong. They would like us to retire the |
| 3 |
kernel generated $KV, ebuilds that need $KV should inherit linux-info, |
| 4 |
unless they are themselves a kernel-module, in which case they should |
| 5 |
inherit linux-mod. |

This also consolidates all the kernel version parsing nastiness into 1 |
| 8 |
place ( the eclass ) which means less work for us! |

The QA team will run testing against the tree to locate incorrect uses |
| 11 |
of $KV, granted the KV value is probably wrong right now for some users, |
| 12 |
we still need to migrate them over. |

We may need to retain the $KV variable for EAPI 0 portage, but I think |
| 15 |
that could actually depend on how bad the migration really is. |
