24 I don't expect we would be modifying older EAPIs , any usage of IUSE
25 etc within phase functions for those EAPIs would remain undefined imo;
26 the audit is just to determine what portage (optionally other PMs)
27 actually do now, to see what can be relied upon so usage of IUSE etc
28 within phase functions in EAPI6 (or an updated EAPI5, maybe) can be
29 explicitly stated, without requiring a PM implementation change.
