Several of the ones in profiles/arch/{amd64,sparc,mips} all report '5', and this aligns with the mips 17.0 profile under default/linux. Since EAPI 5 is deprecated, should this file be edited to be at least EAPI 6 or 7, or is it a relic of the past and really just needs to be tossed out? If EAPI support is really needed in the profiles, it seems like there has to be a better mechanism to codify it in a more central location versus scattering ~390 of the things across the base profiles directory.
