This depends on how we want to "drive" our development process. The scheme I described would allow us to make many small improvements (given they don't break sourcing of the builds) while the sole postfix-versioning of the EAPI seems to be a model with less big changes. -- gentoo-dev@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
