6 Wrong. From the GLEP: "note that one should *never* explicitly set both
7 EAPIs to different values."

9 Basically, you don't set the post-source EAPI. It is only supposed to be
10 used when the pre-source EAPI cannot be determined. This is entirely for
11 backwards compatability with EAPI={0,1}. Once people start using
12 suffixed EAPIs, EAPI should not (probably "must not") be set in the
13 ebuild. Sure, because of how the algorithm works, people could
14 potentially do both, but the GLEP makes it pretty clear that they shouldn't.
