I agree. At a minimum, it should bail out if the previously calculated dependencies are no longer met. The only sanity check that it currently does it to verify that the packages are still available to be merged. > Plus, once we have this, it looks to me that nobody has to wait for > EAPI=1 in order to use whatever portage feature that's needed by an > ebuild.

For metadata syntax changes, such as IUSE defaults, a simple portage dependency won't work. In that case EAPI is needed in order to prevent older versions of portage from interpreting new ebuilds in ways that are not intended (leading to unpredictable results).
