For most features the block is the need for Portage to implement the
feature. If I read the thread correctly, Portage already implements what
is wanted here so it's just a matter of agreeing on the specification. I
don't see any reason not to have something in EAPI 3 if it's specified
and implemented in the same time frame as the main driving features of
EAPI 3.
