The point is to make pkgcore a better package manager by getting the

No, you aren't talking, you are babbling about undefined flaws that
nobody can evaluate, for which you aren't providing a way to
reproduce it and possibly doesn't exist.

So in your opinion, the pkgcore maintainers should just say "Screw it,
it was just Ciaran who said that." and move on?
No, it's just unsubstantiated rumors. As such they are irrelevant until
some kind of proof is shown.
Why is "Create tests for EAPI=1 stuff." not a way to describe how to
reproduce a problem?
It is too generic and doesn't even describe the class of bug. By the
same rationale portage and paludis have multiple bugs ...
Talking away problems, now that is a way to handle QA.
So, could anyone just actually mention what the problem is, or is the
hivemind not able to express such a simple thing?
Just think of the thousands of emails, being read by hundreds of
readers, that have cost so much time ... in that time you could have
written a patch and a bugreport.
