Yes, it's something which has bothered me for a while. When we ratified
GLEP 83 [0], I wanted to come back to it for handling EAPI support
deprecation in "important" eclasses but I couldn't figure out a nice
definition for that and got distracted.
I actually *do* think we should do something here, but I will note
pkgcheck will have been warning about use of DeprecatedEapi at least.
