For all we know, EAPI 4 may be completely changed next week and then allowed in the tree the week after. Then people looking at your eclass will incorrectly assume that it supports the approved EAPI 4. EAPI 4's current state used to be "closed, and approved subject to Portage implementation", but due to the huge delays in that there have been a number of things since then that the Council has voted on that no-one has provided PMS patches or even approximate wording for. Unless you've been keeping very close track of that, you don't even know what EAPI 4 is likely to contain, let alone what it eventually will contain... --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/yXk9NL7hmjLaFEqzmbnn_GH Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkzFIQ0ACgkQ96zL6DUtXhFalQCgx25th+KgQBaPeuBXIcZAEpeT bNIAniVNeFjRT+p0TExb20xo5KKkMvAU =V+dq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/yXk9NL7hmjLaFEqzmbnn_GH--
