Although I commend you for these efforts, given that this deprecation is also linked to EAPI6, why not instead bump to XORG-3 requiring EAPI6, take advantage of all the simplifications, and this will allow/enforce migration of all the ebuilds as well in turn? It would be nice for instance to drop the epatch stuffs at the same time, if we could...
