Well, that is debatable, but, it's been reported as being in portage on
that eapi bug now.  So at the very least you need to wrap it in
something that checks eapi or the portage-3 format, Something that is
not yet clear to me which.  And instead of tracebacking like it did,
have it error out instead.

In the short term it likely won't hurt (we may need to dis-able it for
a new release) and will allow them to do more testing, to establish the
official parameters of the new feature.

FIX IT!
