Unlike the other ways of allowing new global scope functions, GLEP 55 doesn't require a wait, and it doesn't require mass fixing of existing packages. That's part of the point of it. GLEP 55 can be rolled out and used as quickly as the code to support it in Portage is unreverted. -- Ciaran McCreesh
