Something that comes to mind would be the inability to systematically
verify the installed system. We obviously don't currently store posix
capabilities the way we store mtimes and hashes, but I would think
that this would just be one more part of the EAPI if we properly
define it.
That said, I don't see manual scripts outside of portage being a
possible workaround, but it should probably only be used
experimentally.
