How about raising the EAPI baseline from 0 to 2 - ie. every package may
use EAPI 2; not the same as deprecating 0 1 - and do:
case ${EAPI:-0} in
0|1|2|3|4) eqawarn "From <date> onwards this will die" ;;
*) die ... ;;
esac
as EAPI 2 supports the --missing case via constructs as:
|| (
>=foo/bar-1
<foo/bar-1[baz]
)
Almost all affected packages can be bumped straight to 4 anyway and
so use the improved syntax.
The aim would be to get rid of built_with_use not only in a distant
future. The corresponding bug [1] is from 2009 and can't be fixed
