\summary{2010}{10}{26} \agendaitem{la files} \index{.la files}\index{package!sys-devel/libtool} The council decided that removing la files is the right thing to do, but the whole thing will be taken to the -dev ML to allow devs to express their opinions/objections, if any. Jorge will handle this. The removal will only happen after portage-2.1.9 or later is stabilized, since this is the first version that can fix la files automatically. At that time, a news item will be released to inform users on how to fix any issues that may arise from the removal. \agendaitem{EAPI 4} \index{EAPI!4}\index{REQUIRED_USE} few_ suggested finalizing EAPI 4 with the features currently implemented in portage (\bug{273620}). we agreed that this is a good idea, as long as a spec list is built and PMS patches are written for all the features. ferringb will write documentation for REQUIRED_USE. the council will finalize things in the next meeting. people responsible for EAPI 4 should be pinged beforehand so they can attend that meeting.
