1 One agenda item I'd like to add myself is EAPI deprecation (again).
2 We're collecting items for EAPI 6 already, and with this being
3 deployed there would be seven EAPIs in use.

17 We already "encourage" using the newest EAPI, see 20110308 meeting.
18 (Though I fail to find this recommendation in the devmanual, shouldn't

21 Should we have a stricter rule? Would such a rule help significantly
22 reducing the number of EAPI 0 ebuilds?
