It means anyone using EAPI 2 now is going to encounter severe
breakages with Pkgcore. Simply put, all your Pkgcore users are going to
get screwed over very messily as soon as they try to use any EAPI 2
things. Is this not something we should be caring about?

Bah. If you want me to lecture you on how you're being blatantly
irresponsible and incompetent then I will do, although by the way you
rush on the defensive and start trying to cover your ass by throwing
accusations at me it looks like you already know it. But what I care
about is getting the mess fixed in the most painless way possible.

This is a real issue and developers need to know the implications.

If you want bug reports via trac instead of IRC, get your trac to
respond faster.
