FWIW, I don't think it'd be a big deal to just agree that we wouldn't rip out old EAPI support from eclasses
and also slow down with adopting new EAPIs for ebuilds (which there's vague consensus about wrt EAPI 8
being done a bit too quickly anyway).

i.e. I don't think this is really a blocker.

Best,
