We can either wait until several months after the feature is
available in release media, or else do an EAPI bump (whichever comes
sooner). Ideally, an EAPI bump will include a number of major
changes. Other features that I think we should consider for an EAPI
bump are:
1) Grouping of package atom restrictions [1].
2) Default USE flags at the ebuild and/or profile level [2].
3) Ebuild helpers as functions that die automatically [3].
4) Elimination of the implicit RDEPEND "feature" [4].
The first EAPI bump should probably be proposed as a GLEP and should
include features that have been proposed/implemented as part of
other GLEPs.
