semantics aside, how much time you dedicate is entirely up to you and really, 
i dont think there's too many developers who honestly care how that affects 
you

i consider having a spelled out EAPI=0 spec to be quite valuable and worth 
spending time on and i have to say that i get the feeling that i'm not alone 
on this point

having a behavior explanation cuts back on the "well it works in portage so go 
screw yourself" mentality and replaces it with "package manger foo does not 
behave according to spec" which certainly opens up the door for people to use 
alternative package managers with the Gentoo ebuild tree (hmm we're gonna 
have to stop referring to it as the "Gentoo portage tree" eh)
