What's the point of these supposedly generous long-term support for old EAPIs when you're dropping support for them in eclasses like distutils-r1? It's all silly and pointless. Yes I've heard there's no obligation for eclass maintainers to support old EAPIs. Same point applies. You might as well tell overlay owners to not use ::gentoo's eclasses so these supposedly "long-term" support become sensible. -- konsolebox
