Err.. Maybe this could have been phrased better but then I did expect you would look at the bug before commenting.

The bug itself should be phrased better.

The idea is to enable tests by default in EAPI 2 and beyond and let them stay off by default in EAPI 0 and 1. This way devs who want to use EAPI 2 will either have to fix their tests or RESTRICT them. Doing it this way avoids the issue of having to fix the whole tree all at once. Users can still choose not to go with the default.

People will (and should) have -test in FEATURES anyway, good self-test suites usually take more than twice the time to build and run, may have additional dependencies that could take lots of time.
