Things like this shouldn't be a reason for not applying EAPI/GLEPs/PM-behaviour changes. If this GLEP is approved, it would be fine to publish a quick guide of recipes to migrate scripts which rely on the old naming convention and that should be enough. IMO, keeping us away from improvements to Gentoo because they break backwards compatibility with third party scripts is a no-go. Of course, this kind of changes can't happen once a month, but they can happen from time to time. Regards, Santiago -- Santiago M.
