I haven't looked at the upgrade path for quite a while, but it was usually a pain when portage changed its EAPI or python deps. While it's true that leaving old ebuilds available helps with that, it's still annoying. So if we do this, we should have a real good reason. The council voted that EAPI 1 and 2 are discouraged. I'd argue that minimizing upgrade hassle is more worth than not using a discouraged EAPI. To summarize: leave it as is. > > Mike, what about Sebastian's last patch about the /var/run and > compny.
