I also strongly suggest people to read the bug [1]. |

In any case, this issue (as in changing existing behaviour for existing |
| 17 |
EAPIs) is too late for this month's meeting. |

My personal opinion on this matter is that it should be just in EAPI5, |
| 20 |
and that if a list of items for EAPI5 is compiled that is ready to go, |
| 21 |
we (council) can quickly get EAPI5 a fact. |
| 22 |
That said, since EAPI5 features are on the agenda, in principle it could |
| 23 |
even be so this month still. |
