During discussion, is was remarked that some changes, e.g. to
dependencies in eclasses, could require mass rebuilds of packages.

\vote{The council asks the Portage team to first outline their long-term
  plan regarding removal or replacement of dynamic dependencies,
  before they remove this feature. In particular, tree policies and
  the handling of eclasses and virtuals need to be clarified.}{
  Accepted unanimously.}

Note added in proof: The Portage team does not intend to remove
dynamic dependencies, but only change their default to "off".

\agendaitem{Open floor}

perl-cleaner is still needed.
