If you're trying to shove in something outside of that, that would be a package manager-specific format. Like XML-stuff (that can't include the shebang or EAPI="foo" at the top) specifically for, say, Paludis. But wait, Ciaran McCreesh wrote: >> robertz wrote: >> especially PM specific EAPI.

If it's package manager-specific, then it doesn't belong in the main tree, as you stated. Would that include trying to push in the proposed suffix changes? If they have uses outside of it, then consider supporting it *only in that package manager*, rather than trying to force it on what is largely an unreceptive Gentoo group. Near as I can tell, it's only the Paludis folks that are interested in pushing this GLEP through. It doesn't seem like additional suffix flexibility is all that desirable except to the folks who represent one package manager. And, well, one PM does not make a specification. Mostly. Sorta. Occasionally. Sometimes. You'd think.
