If you mean by "mass migration" doing that more or less blindly, I do object. 
When an ebuild directly or indirectly inherits an eclass, which is EAPI 2 
enabled, like base.eclass, while another isn't, you have to expect 
side-effects. See for example media-tv/kdetv-0.8.9-r1, which features an 
empty src_prepare to prevent the attempt to apply patches twice, temporarily.

So the first step is to get all eclasses EAPI 2 ready and even then I wouldn't 
rule out odd cases, so changes should happen in testing and revised ebuilds 
exclusively to assure odd cases get caught.
