Supposedly. But in practice this isn't true, because far too many |

The whole mess started because src_test was introduced late on, but |
| 10 |
before EAPIs, so there was no incremental way of making tests usable. |

Enforcing src_test in a "you must explicitly say so if your package's |
| 12 |
test suites are expected to fail" way on an EAPI bump is a clean way of |
| 13 |
recovering from this. |
