1 EAPI 7 has been approved by the Council one week ago [1]. The latest
2 Portage version in ~arch (2.3.36) supports it, and the Infra team has
3 upgraded the rsync master so that metadata cache generation will work
4 correctly.

6 Therefore, EAPI 7 ebuilds can be committed to the Gentoo repository
7 from now on. (Make sure that all inherited eclasses are supporting the
8 new EAPI, though.)
