I would prefer to see a patch for this first, and then modify gentoo-x86
second; but I agree in principle.  What of the conversation about 2
files, one for "this eclass is currently being deprecated" -> repoman
warning; and "this eclass is no longer usable" -> repoman failure.

Also the deprecated -> new-eclass mapping.  Afaik that didn't go so well
for me; but I still like it ;)

old			new
-----			------
foo.eclass		new-foo.eclass
