By the time EAPI=6* would happen we should have a git tree so we'd just fork the tree for EAPI=6-dependencies. :) A change like this would *NEED* a long-term test phase with a lot of developer participation, so if we were to consider it we'd need to fork the tree and implement/maintain it in parallel to main tree maintenance, imo. A translation script could probably also be used to convert *DEPEND into DEPENDENCIES automatically for any packages that dev's aren't manually managing... ...But I digress; we're nowhere near doing this yet. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlBKHK8ACgkQ2ugaI38ACPANNgEAg2K70CzsDPRF7MhBPRoSPtHm ngLhrWQKqQ7+A74BTJ4BAKxDyUFnAD4ikYrGvo51Ez1FWcGXntQqyiPc/W+491l7 =8+LW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
