"enlightenment" is really two completely different projects that share
only a project name and a bunch of devs in common.

There was Enlightenment 16, currently maintained by Kim Woelders, this
is SLOT 0 in Gentoo and the most recent release 1.0.17.

Rasterman and his trusty bunch of nefarious cohorts scrapped E16 about
13 years ago and started over and called their new project E17. It ha
very little in common with E16 other than lots of bling :-)

E17 has steadily moved forward after taking 10 years for any release of
any kind and is now up to 0.21.2 - there is no E18 or E19 or whatever
they are all subsequent releases of E17. Gentoo has this in SLOT 0.17

It's all terrible confusing :-)
