I'd rather not add further features to EAPI 6, otherwise it'll never |
| 18 |
be finished. I don't see items 1 and 2 as essential features. In |
| 19 |
addition, comments on the bugs for item 1 seem to indicate that it |
| 20 |
will break some packages. |
| 21 |

Concerning item 2, dohtml already has a -A option that allows adding |
| 23 |
further extensions to the list. It doesn't have any option for their |
| 24 |
removal, so I've mixed feelings about adding further extensions as |
| 25 |
default. |

Item 3 would be important enough to add it. OTOH, it still is in the |
| 28 |
flow; your comment #14 was posted to the bug only today (!). There are |
| 29 |
at least two previous examples where we have had bad experience with |
| 30 |
such last-minute changes. |
