12 That doesn't sound right. What happens if the eclass sets an EAPI(say 1), but
13 you need to use say X feature(which is in EAPI 2). By what you said, this
14 would prevent the ebuild from using the features in EAPI 2. It also isn't
15 smart to bump eclasses' EAPI--EAPI should be set to the lowest common
16 denominator that that feature being used is in.

18 If that made sense ;)
