20 Well, that is debatable, but, it's been reported as being in portage on
21 that eapi bug now. So at the very least you need to wrap it in
22 something that checks eapi or the portage-3 format, Something that is
23 not yet clear to me which. And instead of tracebacking like it did,
24 have it error out instead.
25
26 In the short term it likely won't hurt (we may need to dis-able it for
27 a new release) and will allow them to do more testing, to establish the
28 official parameters of the new feature.

30 FIX IT!
