The typical user does not deal with the ebuild files themselves, and if they are doing so it's because there's a deficiency in the tools available to them. Any user who *does* deal with ebuild files is doing something sufficiently advanced that they need to be aware of EAPIs anyway. As for fragile... You might as well say that sticking PN and PV in the file is fragile and a hack... -- Ciaran McCreesh
