16 One of those rare days when I agree completely with chainsaw ;-)

18 Yes, trying to force toolchain to upgrade through the council is
19 suicidal, however, this thread seemed to indicate people actively
20 working on moving to eapi 5 without the council forcing them. As there
21 isn't a council decree and things are still moving forward I figured it
22 would be helpful to show appreciation. So as the lead developer for
23 Pentoo, as well as a member of Gentoo releng, thanks to those working on
24 getting toolchain updated to eapi 5, I believe this is be a major
25 improvement across many projects and many user's lives.
