I certainly agree.  As I bump my own packages I'll certainly be
looking for opportunities to use slot operator dependencies and will
certainly bump to EAPI5 when I find them, and if somebody were to
state that EAPI6 was going to make the lives of binary package users
much better I'd be all for pushing to get everything onto EAPI6.

My only concern was to let the actual benefits be the driver.
