Thanks for opening a spot to voice our opinions within reasonable limits and without deadlocked discussions. To make it brief, I'd very much prefer 3c[0] for the reasons provided by others before: - From what I can see, it provides for all requirements set out by g55. - There is a backwards-compatible way to implement it. - It does not expose any more internal metadata than current ebuilds do. - I see no rush to implement new EAPI features that require drastic changes enabled by 1*. - It provides a constant face for Gentoo, aka we're the guys and gals using the ".ebuild" format. Robert [0] Although not with a fixed line limit, but with a strict way to find it, i.e. the first occurence of #?\s*EAPI=["']?([a-zA-Z0-9._]+)["']? or similar.
