The nice thing about doing it on an EAPI bump is that it's incremental.
As people move towards EAPI 3, they'll all get caught and fixed.

With the current situation, src_test is worthless because a failure
doesn't mean there's a problem worth investigating. But if EAPI 3
starts making src_test "run unless explicitly RESTRICTed or disabled",
any src_test failure in an EAPI 3 package will tell people something
requires attention.
