If anyone's been personal and insulting in this discussion, it isn't Ciaran. I've seen this attitude on IRC too. Funnily enough, you don't speak for other people, you don't decide what their opinions are, and you don't get to decree that they're insulting you (or worse, that they're /going to/ insult you) unless they are, in fact, insulting you. As for the topic: the only real concern about VALID_USE that I've seen from anyone is about whether Portage can implement it reasonably soon. Since some people think it can, how about picking some reasonable time period (allowing for bikeshedding about the syntax, of course), and if VALID_USE isn't supported in Portage by then but EAPI 4 is otherwise ready then we postpone VALID_USE until later?
