EAPI is metadata and is best treated as such. In other words, history aside, it does not belong inside an ebuild. Making EAPI info part of the filename does look like a reasonable solution - similar to seen/replied flags in the filenames in maildir directories. Heck, even version numbers in an ebuild filename is similar. I don't understand why there is a strong objection to it. But anyway, it is Friday night and I am out of here.
