The PMS git repository has an eapi-5 development branch, and some
parallel discussion took place in the gentoo-pms mailing list.

So far we have:
╓────
║ EAPI 5 is EAPI 4 with the following changes:
║ 
║ • econf adds --disable-silent-rules.
║ • Slot operator dependencies.
║ • src_test supports parallel tests.
║ • USE is calculated differently.
║ • IMAGE is gone.
║ • REQUIRED_USE now supports ?? groups.
║ • apply_user_patches function, with src_prepare changes.
║ • EBUILD_PHASE_FUNC.
║ • find is guaranteed to be GNU.
║ • new* can read from standard input.
