Hello folks,

I would like to inform you all, that GLEP-81 migration has been finally
done. All existing packages got migrated and no ones left.

What to do with user.eclass now? It's already marked @DEPRECATED, do we
want it @DEAD and eventually removed?

Great work, thank you!

The eclass dies in EAPI 8 if called from an ebuild outside the acct-*
category. We could extend this to EAPIs 6 and 7 (but it might cause
problems for overlays).

Also, not sure if the @DEPRECATED tag should be used for an eclass that
is still indirectly inherited by other eclasses.

How about attached patch?

Ulrich

How about moving all logic from user.eclass to acct-{group,user}
eclasses? Since they are the only consumers left.
