Since we've managed to survive up to this point without such a feature, I think it's worth the wait roll it into EAPI 5 and have a clean solution that doesn't rely on package manager interaction with eclasses. If we quickly draft an EAPI 5 spec, there's still have time to have it approved at the next council meeting. -- Thanks, Zac
