Oh really? So you're absolutely certain there aren't and won't soon be any EAPI 2 bumps of non-EAPI 2 versions that include security patches? And you're absolutely certain that there aren't, say, any packages that sed a broken chmod in a makefile in src_prepare? > I can not understand why this is dragged on. It was a bug, it is > fixed.

The process is failing and the fallout needs to be handled. -- Ciaran McCreesh
