Security

 * Tooling to make security work easier, like pinging maintainers, changing whiteboards, and so on
 * Investigate if any additional gcc flags should be added to hardened profile
 * Test and merge CET changes (done!)
 * Relevant:
 * Add useful searches / tips to wiki pages?
 * Audit maintainer-needed packages, possibly dev-java too, and maybe www-apps for known vulns w/o bugs

Documentation

 * Add mention of circular dependencies to handbook?
 * Add mention of circular dependencies page to Portage?

Ongoing

 * Work on any devmanual items in notes
 * Work on any wiki items in notes

Misc

 * Python PGO, ideally trained on Portage unit tests
 * PGO itself is now done!
 * Add further examples to the musl notes
 * Summarise modern-day Hardened profile, update wiki pages, etc
 * Improve wiki pages on nattka / stabilisation requests
 * Add warnings on dhcp client to NetworkManager page
 * Make sure docs on SIGNED_OFF_BY etc are on wiki

Improving upgrades

 * Wait a few months before using new EAPIs in tree (require stable Portage to have supported it for.. 3? months)
 * News item when a new EAPI is introduced to help folks who inevitably hit issues with their Portage being too stale (see also: )
 * Take longer to drop support entirely for older Pythons in the eclasses (just python-exec is the main issue here)
 * In particular, makes it harder to upgrade Portage if it's too old (even with nodeps and such).
 * One ends up with lots of errors like:
 * Improve the "rescue Portage" documentation (done: Project:Portage/Fixing_broken_portage)
 * Of particular note is this kind of error which appears when using an older Portage with a freshly synced tree:

arm64
[02:29:43]  leio and others: Does much support CPU_FLAGS_ARM on arm64? [02:29:57]  As in, actually in tree. Or is it all just arm stuff. [02:30:06]  Just wondering if that's an avenue I should look into at some point. [02:30:36]  Also, would there be any value in CPU_FLAGS_ARM64, or not really? I imagine all it'd do is simplify ebuilds wanting to support arm64 but who need to do something different to arm in order to do so.
 * CPU_FLAGS_ARM64?
