Simple, elegant, works.
The example was right; you just didn't bother to read the thread. The proposal was to jam EAPI into the version namespace, rather than extension. Meaning they're proposing that foo-bar example be foo-bar-2.3.4.eapiexheres-0.ebuild As I said in the email you didn't bother to actually read, such a proposal is fairly whacked and takes away the actual benefits of G55; aka, do G55 before doing that attrocity. I'll skip replying to the rest of the snark in the email; I will however point out that toolish behaviour like above doesn't do G55 any favors in trying to reverse 5 years of people saying "I don't like the aesthetics". That said, feel free to keep screaming into the wind about it. ~harring
