If you do this, you'll have to either convert everything using Python
ABIs to EAPI 4 immediately, or have two sets of flag names. Won't users
get confused if they have to set both python_abis_3_2 (for EAPI < 4
packages) and python_abis_3.2 (for EAPI 4 packages)? And won't
developers have a hard time getting [use] deps right for them?

As far as I can see, this one's a repoman thing, and has little to no
impact on PMS since it doesn't require behaviour changes from the
package mangler itself.
