For this reason, I'd like to set a 'media goal' of getting EAPI 0 by the end of 2019. Why getting rid of EAPI 0 is important? Because there's a huge leap between EAPI 0 and EAPI 4+ (though 4 is also close to being gone).=20 Removing EAPI 0 means we can finally start cleaning up eclasses and documentation. Just to name a few things, we're finally going to have consistent '||die' in helpers, phase function set, USE flag dependencies, no implicit RDEPEND... Just take a look at [2], and you're going to be surprised how many things have changed. What's been done? I've taken care of cleaning up old versions and requesting stabilization of newer ones whenever feasible. I've treecleaned a lot of dead packages (and a few of them have been revived and updated). I've filed bugs for probably all the packages left and collected them on the tracker [3]. What needs to be done? The maintainers need to port remaining packages or send last rites for them. Some of those packages are not being cared by the maintainers anymore, so if you see something valuable, take it.=20 If you see something obviously dead, let treecleaners know. Any and all help will be appreciated! The rough plan is to have a clear vision of what to do with the remaining packages one month from now -- either have them bumped to a newer EAPI and waiting for stabilization, or last rited for removal in mid-December.
