The only reason all this takes so long is because getting anything done
with EAPIs involves wasting months dealing with people who demand to
know why their favourite unicorn isn't there yet, why the EAPI process
isn't what they want it to be, why EAPIs have to exist at all, why we
have to care about stability, why we have to change things, why we
can't change things, etc etc.

If getting things quickly is a goal, then you should ask the Council to
look into reducing the amount of public discussion and concensus that's
necessary to deliver a new EAPI.
