No good, for two reasons.
First, this is a global scope change, and we can't make global scope
changes to EAPIs using current mechanisms. EAPIs have to carry on using
bash 3 until the EAPI mechanism is changed.
Second, by order of the Council, EAPI 3's feature list was locked
several weeks ago. If we ignore that for one thing, it just means
everyone else who had features that came along too late will start
demanding we reconsider those too...
