I agree. At a minimum, it should bail out if the previously |
| 12 |
calculated dependencies are no longer met. The only sanity check |
| 13 |
that it currently does it to verify that the packages are still |
| 14 |
available to be merged. |

For metadata syntax changes, such as IUSE defaults, a simple portage |
| 22 |
dependency won't work. In that case EAPI is needed in order to |
| 23 |
prevent older versions of portage from interpreting new ebuilds in |
| 24 |
ways that are not intended (leading to unpredictable results). |
