Open floor
==========

During the open floor, dilfridge indicated that he is postponing
the work on 23.0 profiles until Northern Hemisphere fall 2023.  This was
followed by lighthearted discussion about profile versions.  sam pointed
out that the current versioning scheme is confusing to the users, making
them believe that Gentoo is outdated.  NeddySeagoon suggested using EAPI
versions as they often go hand in hand with profiles.

sultan briefly intervened prior to open floor, requesting that
"consequences be added if the workflow is not followed", but did not
expound when requested during the open floor.
