Roll call
=========
Present: dilfridge, jlec, k_f, rich0, ulm, williamh
Absent: blueness


RFC: Eclasses and EAPI
======================

k_f asked the council to discuss the requirement of a definition of supported
EAPIs in eclasses. The general consensus was that this not having a proper
check only created minor issues so far and the council leaves the
responsibility with the respective eclass maintainers and QA for a general
solution.

ulm mentioned his idea of splitting eclass in eclass libs and eclass, where
the eclass-libs contain the EAPI independent code in low level functions, where as
the actual eclasses themselves are EAPI dependent. This would be a very stable
and efficient architecture, but only in some niches eclasses are converting to
this e.g. perl.

Nothing has been decided on this matter by the council in this meeting.

===============================
