I'd rather avoid adding a feature to EAPI 6 where we don't have a
proof of concept at least.

We made this mistake in EAPI 3 and it was endlessly delayed. (What was
originally intended to be EAPI 3 is now called EAPI 4, and at least
one of its features was further delayed until EAPI 5.)

We can vote and give the go-ahead for it, and if IUSE_RUNTIME is
ready in time, then it can be part of EAPI 6. But please, let's keep
it separate from the EAPI, for the time being.
