I still don't follow why we need new EAPI for this, as presented.
What we are talking about here is optional PM behaviour only, and a
convention that developers will need to adopt.  It doesn't much matter
if a PM doesn't implement minor-revision-vdbonly-merging because that
PM would just do a full re-emerge same as any other revbump.

The only need for EAPI change that I can see is to allow non-integer
revision values, but that wasn't on mva's list of changes from what I
remember.  Am I missing something else, here?
