As far as I can see, this GLEP predates EAPI and does not meet modern standards. It needs to be updated or killed with fire.

For a start, relation to EAPI needs to be defined. This will likely require both profiles and ebuilds to use the new EAPI.

Also, the contents of 'backwards compatibility' section are unacceptable. But that's probably going to be covered by EAPI.

The spec itself is hard to follow, though the idea seems simple. It makes me wonder if we aren't missing something important there.
