Isn't it /both/? IOW, just because portage implements it, doesn't mean it's usable in-tree, if it's not part of an approved EAPI. Similarly, approval before released support again doesn't mean it's allowed in-tree. Only with both is it then allowed. Leastwise, that was my read of the council decision back then. But zero-day, yes, provided it's both approved and in-portage at the same level (~arch or stable). > The caveat is with @system packages, especially bash/python/portage > itself.
