Supposedly. But in practice this isn't true, because far too many
developers just don't care.

The whole mess started because src_test was introduced late on, but
before EAPIs, so there was no incremental way of making tests usable.
Enforcing src_test in a "you must explicitly say so if your package's
test suites are expected to fail" way on an EAPI bump is a clean way of
recovering from this.
