Should/may maintainers close bugs that have tinderbox logs passed by URL
without being attached?

\vote{The council recommends that bugs from any developer-run tinderbox not
be marked invalid based on whether the logs are attached or pointed to
by a permanent URL.  The council also encourages efforts to automate
the attachment of tinderbox logs to improve the quality of the bugzilla
record.}{Aye: blueness, dberkholz, dilfridge, creffet proxy for radhermit,

Please review the attached future.eclass. Long story short, the idea is
to provide some of the EAPI 6 feel to EAPI 5 ebuilds.

Quoting the beginning of the DESCRIPTION:
\begin{verbatim}
# This eclass contains backports of functions that were accepted
# by the Council for the EAPI following the EAPI used by ebuild,
# and can be implemented in pure shell script.
\end{verbatim}

\vote{The council does not agree with the concept behind future.eclass as it
has the potential for confusion.  Efforts would be better focused on
preparing for EAPI 6 and adopting this.}{

\index{die in subshells}\index{EAPI!6}

This was suggested late, off-list, and with no list discussion.  I
recommend deferring any decisions, but if anybody wants to take the
opportunity to comment they may.

See the log for discussion.  This was referred back to the lists for open 
discussion before we vote.


\agendaitem{Deprecating and killing the concept of herds}

Rich0 will work on his proposal further.  There isn't anything ripe for a 
decision yet.


\agendaitem{Status of Games Team}
\index{games team}\index{project!games}

The council agreed to re-iterate the call for volunteers and for QA to
take action where necessary.  However, there are no new decisions.


\agendaitem{Bugs assigned to Council}

\bug{503382}: dberkholz reports that he is 2/3rds done with this.
