+ChangeLog and commit messages
+=============================
+Discuss/vote: Do we require identical ChangeLog entries and commit
+messages?
+
+The Council agreed that developers are free to use different messages
+for ChangeLog and commit, but they are responsible for the messages,
+and the Council still expects appropriate messages to be used.
+<http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/misc-files/changelog/>
+
+Eclasses policy
+===============
+Discuss/vote: Are developers allowed to remove functions from
+eclasses, or change the API in general?
+
+The Council agreed that the following wording shall be added to the
+eclass writing guide in the devmanual:
+   "When removing a function or changing the API of an eclass, make
+   sure that it doesn't break any ebuilds in the tree, and post a
+   notice to gentoo-dev at least 30 days in advance, preferably with
+   a patch included."
+
+Actions:
+- Provide a patch for the devmanual (betelgeuse).
+- Start a discussion on the mailing lists on how to deal with eclass
+  APIs in general (grobian).
+
