Do you mean that it would break things or just while technically working the ebuilds mass converted in this way would not take advantage of EAPI5 features such use 'usex'? mgorny@ mentioned the latter in another post, and I think we can address that e.g. by adding TODO comments to each ebuild converted this way for a manual review later. If you think this can actually break things, could you explain more? > Finally, the gentoo developer quiz -should- still contain questions > about ancient stuff.
