5 If you do this, you'll have to either convert everything using Python
6 ABIs to EAPI 4 immediately, or have two sets of flag names. Won't users
7 get confused if they have to set both python_abis_3_2 (for EAPI < 4
8 packages) and python_abis_3.2 (for EAPI 4 packages)? And won't
9 developers have a hard time getting [use] deps right for them?

14 As far as I can see, this one's a repoman thing, and has little to no
15 impact on PMS since it doesn't require behaviour changes from the
16 package mangler itself.
