Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2023-07-01 09:58:03 UTC 
Per GLEP 83 (see URL):

The Gentoo Council will ban a deprecated EAPI when

  * 24 months have passed since its deprecation, and
  * it is used by fewer than 5 % of ebuilds in the Gentoo repository.

EAPI 6 was deprecated on 2021-07-11, and its usage in the Gentoo repository (as of today) is 3.06 %. Therefore, both conditions are fulfilled.

Motion: Ban EAPI 6, effective 2023-07-11.
