I'd rather argue in terms of time instead of version numbers, because of the upgrade path for old systems. We guarantee one year for stable systems, but IMHO we should be more conservative for EAPI deprecation and go for two or three years there. Anyway, the Portage version supporting EAPI 4 became stable on 2011-03-17 [1], so it looks like EAPI 3 could be deprecated soon. Ulrich [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:PMS#EAPI_life_cycle
