Certainly it would make sense to change the file extension when an EAPI will require something different than bash. For example, some editors (Emacs and XEmacs at least) recognise the .ebuild extension and use corresponding syntax rules. > If thats the case, then G55 ( or something similar ) is practically > guaranteed as soon as we want something non-bash. No, you just use a new extension once and you're done. And I guess such drastic changes won't happen frequently. In the past 12 years there hasn't been a single one. (If they will ever happen, this is a pretty academic discussion.) Ulrich
