At least not for a year or more, until the base profile's eapi > can be set to something other than 0. use.desc and use.local.desc don't have EAPI versioning either; as such they're eapi=0 till versioning is introduced (and then wait till the support is deployed far enough to avoid breaking people). Meaning, just the same as I said on this bug... this isn't viable, and frankly it's not really a deal breaker lacking it. It can be worked around. If folks want it, they're going to need to sort out all of the backward compatibility issues *prior* to trying to shove it into eapi. ~harring
