It's fine too. EBUILD_FORMAT was just the name that fell in

EVER looks like the english word 'ever'; what does it stand for?
EBUILD
VERSION? If so, how about EVERSION? Since when was variable name
length
a problem? Go with whatever best describes the variable and is easy to

Why not follow that logic through and use something like EBUILD_API ?
the term VERSION implies release version which of course may not be
tied to API changes...
