Description Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Hi, all. Per the layout.conf comments, the council has only deprecated EAPI=4.

Please vote to ban EAPI=4 as there is one remaining ebuild in the tree which will be purged/ported shortly.

The Council has already voted on this in its 2018-04-08 meeting:

"The Council bans EAPI 4 for new ebuilds effective immediately. (Votes: 7 yes, unanimous)"
