I don't remember the details  right now, but I remember speaking with
vapier when I first started working on openrc, and he stated that he
felt we should stay away from higher eapis for system packages.

I don't really remember his reasoning for that right now, but I remember
that is why I didn't migrate the ebuild to a higher eapi a while back.

Also, this patch doesn't stop baselayout-2 from being installed, so I do
not know what state it would leave a system in if you ran this and
happened to upgrade baselayout, then reboot without installing openrc.
