\agendaitem{la files}
\index{.la files}\index{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.
