Council decisions are generally made in meetings, and posted in the
summaries at:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/Meeting_logs

For whatever reason this decision was pushed a bit and is in a bug:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611234

Speaking personally I didn't mind voting this way since it was mostly
just a re-iteration of the previous decision, and it had been hashed
out on the lists.

I believe it is on the agenda for today mainly to get it into the
summary so that it isn't lost in bugzilla.  I don't really expect much
further discussion.

The decision was:

The council confirms its earlier decision (2014-10-14 meeting) to drop
CVS headers after migration to Git.

1) Any $Id$ and $Header$ lines are to be removed from ebuilds and
eclasses in the gentoo repository, as well as from other files, e.g.,
metadata, profiles, and files (except patches) in FILESDIR.

2) Removal should be done at once, and a repoman check should be
implemented to prevent such lines from accidentally being inserted
again.

3) Infra is asked not to expand any $Id$ or other keywords, neither at
rsync generation time, nor via git attributes in the development
repository."
