So after you ignore my other stuff: Profiles are part of the PMS
specification, so any changes that go in there have to be EAPI
scheduled and cried over for a bit, and probably GLEPs and stuff also.
I guess portage could informally support it prior to any such
specification materialising, but it would have to be forbidden in the
main tree until such a specification was defined, or the portage tree
would become PMS in-compatible.
