Er. No. As you would know had you read GLEP 55, Portage is noisy if you
use bash 4 features in an ebuild and it doesn't have metadata.

You mean, nice to see that I was around and watching what happened back
when we didn't have EAPIs to protect us from this sort of thing?

Sorry, you don't get to post that kind of response until you start
being right. In light of you being wrong (see above), please apologise
and retract your remarks.

If you have a problem with the EAPI process, I suggest you take it up
with the Council. But given they've recently voted that everyone has to
comply with PMS or get p.masked, and that we'll do new EAPIs whenever
there are features available, and that they considered the EAPI 3
feature list to be appropriate, I doubt you'll get very far.
