I have to agree with Ciaran on this one.
Furthermore, it's "unrealist" and to an extent "unfair" to impose
limitations on "~arch" ebuilds because of "arch" users. Gentoo should
support "arch" users, but that doesn't mean making sure "~arch" ebuilds
work for "arch" users. When a "arch" user opts to use an "~arch" ebuild,
he/she does so at his own risk.
About replacing "EAPI-{0,1}" ebuilds with "EAPI-2" ebuilds, I can agree
with the proposal, although one can pick earlier versions/revisions from
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/
