Based on your summary of the suggestions on the list, I believe you
misunderstood what many of us were arguing for.

*  Set the EAPI inside the ebuild in a way that makes it easy to fetch it
  This is ok as atm only EAPI=1 is in the tree, so there is no backward
compatibility issue.
AND
*  Have a new ebuild/eclass extension ".eapi-$EAPI"
  This is for ebuilds for other package managers; it is envisaged by some
that this will become the new ebuild format since it enables quick access
to the EAPI without accessing the file contents. Full ebuild names are the
primary key for the portage database.
