If we want to handle every possible screwup, including stray EAPI assignments inside inherited eclasses, we still need to compare the probed value to the value that's obtained from bash. I guess you're hinting at using a non-bash ebuild format? Even if in that case, the the package manager should simply use whatever interpreter is appropriate for the probed EAPI. So, if EAPI 7 is a posix-shell format, and the probed EAPI is 7, then the package manager should source the ebuild with it's posix-shell instead of bash. If the probed EAPI is not a supported EAPI, then it should skip the sourcing entirely, and report the ebuild as having an unsupported EAPI. -- Thanks, Zac
