I'm well aware of this. The features listed at the wiki page are the
ones that a) have been discussed, e.g. in the -dev ML, and where (by
my subjective judgement) there is consensus that they belong in the
next EAPI, b) where we have at least a rough idea how the
specification should look like, and c) that can be implemented in
finite time.

Feel free to lobby for any of the 52 additional features if you
believe that it is missing. (Preferably, patches for PMS and for
Portage should be provided. ;-)
