    A call for objections to/questions about any of the various proposals
    was asked for. What follows is a list of proposals to which objections were
    raised or for which there are open questions as well as who raised the
    points.

\begin{itemize}
 \item 
    slot operator support:
        leio, open questions, position pending on answers
 \item
    default_src_install:
        leio, open questions;
        dberkholz,
        dertobi123
 \item
    doinclude:
        dberkholz,
        leio
 \item
    dosed:
        dberkholz
 \item
    unpack failing on unknown types:
        dberkholz
 \item
    docompress:
        leio, needs to review proposal and prepalldocs;
        dev-zero, thinks it's useless
 \item
    doexample:
        dev-zero, thinks it should have -r if we have it at all
 \item
    dohard being deprecated:
        leio, thinks it should remain and have its bugs fixed.
 \item
    disable-dependency-tracking:
        lu_zero, possible breakage of configure scripts (mplayer \& ffmpeg 
mentioned)
 \item
    utility commands should die by default:
        leio, open questions
 \item
    ban $\vert\vert$ ( foo? ( . ) . ):
        leio, sees no reason to ban something that might have some valid use cases
\end{itemize}


    One part of the EAPI-3 discussion is whether to have variables that
    behind-the-scenes control the default functions. The DOCS variable was
    created so that a list of documentation to install can be passed to
    default_src_install. A 4-2 vote approved the DOCS variable for use in
    src_install. Specific details have not yet been worked out.
