It probably should. Although in the early days the model for ebuilds was that they were scripts that were "executed", nowadays there's so much support required that it's better to think of ebuilds as being data. If you did have a /usr/bin/eapi5, it would have to be implemented as something that invoked the package manager, not as a direct interpreter. -- Ciaran McCreesh
