We can either wait until several months after the feature is available in release media, or else do an EAPI bump (whichever comes sooner). Ideally, an EAPI bump will include a number of major changes. Other features that I think we should consider for an EAPI bump are: 1) Grouping of package atom restrictions [1]. 2) Default USE flags at the ebuild and/or profile level [2]. 3) Ebuild helpers as functions that die automatically [3]. 4) Elimination of the implicit RDEPEND "feature" [4]. The first EAPI bump should probably be proposed as a GLEP and should include features that have been proposed/implemented as part of other GLEPs.
