We don't use major.minor numbers for EAPI or have a concept like that.
It's too much mess.

Well... So far as I can see, the main driving force behind all of this
is the immediate need for [use(+)] deps (since developers don't want to
have to mess around with complex || statements), and [use(+)] is most
definitely a new feature.

If we screw up the specification and catch it early enough on, then
yes. But [use(+)] really isn't a bug fix...
