The example was right; you just didn't bother to read the thread.  

The proposal was to jam EAPI into the version namespace, rather than 
extension.  Meaning they're proposing that foo-bar example be

foo-bar-2.3.4.eapiexheres-0.ebuild

As I said in the email you didn't bother to actually read, such a 
proposal is fairly whacked and takes away the actual benefits of G55; 
aka, do G55 before doing that attrocity.

I'll skip replying to the rest of the snark in the email; I will 
however point out that toolish behaviour like above doesn't do G55 any 
favors in trying to reverse 5 years of people saying "I don't like the 
aesthetics".

That said, feel free to keep screaming into the wind about it.
