Adding eclass removal policy to the agenda; it directly affects devs, and the previous policy (imo) is misinterpretted slightly. Specifically, 06/01/08, portage 2.1.4.4 went stable; this had env saving/restoration support. The original council decree was that eclasses had to sit for 2 years- I very strongly posit that the time period there should've been bound to portage env capabilities rather than eclass timelines. Reasoning is simple enough- w/ a proper PM, eclasses can be removed/modified at will without affecting binpkgs/installed pkgs. So the question I'd like on the agenda is basically if there is any reason to preserve the decree- if not, punt it. ~harring
