Like I said in the council thread, I think you may be overreacting.
No version of sys-apps/portage that supports EAPI 2 has been marked
stable yet so the fact that some unstable versions were a little
buggy is not a big problem since unstable users tend to upgrade
relatively frequently and sys-apps/portage is promoted to the from
of the merge list anyway.
