6. open floor

The council asked the GSOC admins to form a project.

We were asked by Sam to endorse the following:
I'd like to include an unofficial request re EAPI 8. We should try
clean up eclasses before adding EAPI 8 support to them. This includes
adding future EAPI guards on changes, but also clean up indirect inherits
and so on. We encourage people to put the EAPI 8 support patches to the ML,
even if it's e.g. cmake.eclass (which is sometimes seen as kde@'s purview),
in order to ensure we maximise such opportunities.

We were asked about deprecating EAPI 6 and agreed that we should do that
once EAPI 8 is stable.
