...and you test it locally.  You also should *never* make changes to an
eclass that will break clients without not only testing the eclass, but
also any applications that use that eclass and might break, including
fixes to the ebuilds for those applications to allow them to work with
the new eclass.  Is it that hard to understand that you DO NOT COMMIT
things that will break the tree?

Personally, I don't care either way about versioned eclasses.  My point
stands whether they are versioned or not.  Nothing should go into the
tree that does not work, and nothing should go into the tree that breaks
functionality that did work.

Period.

Those that do not follow these absolute laws of QA should have their
developer status questioned.
