Presumably any new EAPIs will want BDEPEND rather than DEPEND, and
there's a complete whitelist,

  case ${EAPI:-0} in
    0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7) ;;

of supported EAPIs at the top of the eclass. So it will probably do the
right thing for a new EAPI, but somebody's going to have to read the
code and think about it when the time comes anyway.
