24 It was suggested to me to post here because #1) it's a policy
25 discussion rather than a technical one, and #2) it reaches a bigger
26 audience as many devs have tuned out to gentoo-dev@ ..

28 As for your previous statement -- I was not aware of a policy that
29 excludes EAPI bumps from occurring on stable packages. This would
30 certainly suffice to alleviate the original concerns and probably be
31 more effective as a policy than always requiring revbump on EAPI change.
