Yes. I don't care whether the snippets may affect metadata. They already don't (at one time they did, but we got warned that that's illegal - that's why php-5.3 ebuilds have their metadata folded back into them). >> Instead of all the backwards-compatibility issues the GLEP deals with, >> we could just sneak the implementation into EAPI4 and be done with it. > > No, you can't make global scope changes just in an EAPI without > screwing up user systems.

GLEP55++, but having to wait several months for that and GLEP33 *on top* is not very motivation for me.
