This is a request to support EAPI 7 in gnome2.eclass. It is currently limited to EAPI 6, so GNOME packages can't use BDEPEND, which makes cross-compiling extremely painful. This affects many packages outside GNOME since core projects like librsvg and GTK+ inherit gnome2.eclass. Reproducible: Always
I think the general idea is to get rid of the gnome2.eclass in the near future. I have been migrating my gnome-live ebuilds to the xdg.eclass because it supports EAPI7, and it provides all the functions that are usually needed by Gnome desktop applications.
