If you need eapi in file name what are the technical reasons of putting
it into file name extension? Why don't you suggest better ebuild name
like:

pkg-ver-eapi.ebuild or pkg-eapi-ver.ebuild ?

I remember last time I've asked this genone told me that this is not
backward compatible. Ok, it's not, but what's the problem to change
extension once only for this change? Call you new files like
pkg-ver-eapi.emerge and that's it! What is the need to change extension
every time you introduce new eapi? Another possibility is to implement
this new file format and wait another one year before using it instead
of crapping the tree for years with such eapi-extesions...
