Trying to include things that aren't implemented or things that are
controversial will delay it. It's difficult to make time estimates
for anything that's not implemented yet.

It's trivial to do the EAPI-1 bump if we only include things that
are already implemented.  I can have a sys-apps/portage release in
the tree this week with EAPI-1 support if we choose to do that.
Looking at bug #174380, I'd say that EAPI-1 should certainly include
#174405, #174410, and #179380 since they're all implemented and
relatively non-controversial. Anything more than those can lead to
potential delays.
