The eclass writing and changes guide is described in devmanual and available at https://devmanual.gentoo.org/eclass-writing/ Namely "Adding and Updating Eclasses" section includes rationale why one should consider that. TL;DR: The goal is to serve both as an announcement and as a chance to spot errors before affecting everyone. Valuable feedback (ideally actionable or supportive) feedback is important to community and individuals as it allows us all to make a step in the right direction. I view existence of bikeshedding centithreads (with zero valuable feedback) as a negative side of Gentoo community as it's a time sink. I suggest not to start and not to contribute to such threads. Unfortunately even rare snarky comments don't work all that well in mailing lists. Thanks for your patience and understanding :) -- Sergei
