We're talking about system packages, not the whole tree.  There are 19951
ebuilds that don't declare EAPI and 1705 with EAPI=1 or EAPI="1".  Even
with a policy that all new ebuilds need to be EAPI 2, converting the
entire tree would be several years of work IMO, at which point we'll be
at EAPI zillion+1.
