12 If the goal is to get this stable in a week, and bypass the 1 month
13 waiting period, do we really want to change EAPI at this point? From
14 an end-user perspective updating the EAPI on the ebuild provides no
15 benefit. Why not just deal with that in a future revision?

17 I don't see much value in rewriting the ebuild to use a new EAPI
18 simply because 4 > 1.
