I have been thinking about this specific option. I will admit I don't
know if this has already been noted, but would this create the
possibility of multiple ebuilds with the same $C/$P-$PV?

Currently the filesystem enforces the uniqueness of that tuple, will
that uniqueness be allowed to lapse? (i.e. allow multiple ebuilds for
the same $C/$P-$PV with different EAPIs?)

If not, how is anyone proposing to enforce the uniqueness here?

Just a silly thought...
