My main arguement is a modern code base, my intention is not to touch the ebuild if there is no reason. But if you are doing a version bump, bug fix etc you working on the package anyway. a) thats normal developer work b) if there is a bug in the eclass for a specified EAPI you should file a bug -- Johannes Huber (johu) Gentoo Linux Developer / KDE Team GPG Key ID F3CFD2BD
