I'll bite :)
Version numbers aren't metadata because they uniquely identify the
ebuild/package.
EAPI on the other hand brings no such information to identify the
package. Furthermore, the GLEP proposes that no 2 ebuilds with the exact
same version may exist regardless of different EAPIs.
In the end, ${CATEGORY}/${PF} is like the key in a RDB table. The EAPI
is just extra info.
I'll just wrap this up by saying that I don't have an opinion on whether
putting the EAPI inside the ebuild or outside is better for the complex
operations involved in portage. I'll leave that to the more informed devs :)
Cheers,
Rémi
