Actually it is quite simple: - The stable tree should not contain any EAPI 6 ebuilds at this point, so stable users should not see any change. - Unstable users will have a package manager aware of EAPI 6, so all ebuilds will be visible for it. - If you mix stable and unstable then you are by definition an advanced user, who will be able to cope with the situation. :) Ulrich
