[gentoo-pms] eapi file in profiles

Chapter 4 "Tree Layout" says:
https://projects.gentoo.org/pms/5/pms.html#x1-350004.4

   The profiles directory may contain an eapi file. This file, if it
   exists, must contain a single line with the name of an EAPI. This
   specifies the EAPI to use when handling the profiles directory;
   a package manager must not attempt to use any repository whose
   profile directory requires an EAPI it does not support. If no eapi
   file is present, EAPI 0 shall be used.

Also Chapter 5 "Profiles":
http://dev.gentoo.org/~ulm/pms/head/pms.html#x1-480005.2.2

   A profile directory may contain an eapi file. This file, if it
   exists, must contain a single line with the name of an EAPI. This
   specifies the EAPI to use when handling the directory in question;
   a package manager must not attempt to use any profile using a
   directory which requires an EAPI it does not support. If no eapi
   file is present, EAPI 0 shall be used. The EAPI is not inherited
   via the parent file."

Does the "EAPI to use when handling the directory" apply to all
subdirectories recursively?

We should clarify the spec in one way or the other.

No. It applies to that directory, and only that directory, and it only
applies to a "profile" directory, not a special directory that happens
to live under profiles/ but is not being used as a profile.
