Kills the upgrade path completely. No good.
Lemme sum this up in layman's terms :
1) EAPI _has_ to be known before sourcing an ebuild. There's no way to
avoid that for various reasons, all 100% valid.
"sourcing" != "reading the first line/n first lines/first block and grepping".
IO-wise, it's the same, as most ebuilds fit inside a kernel memory page
(ie, 4KB on most arches). So with a cold cache, the time required to
actually run bash to source the ebuild won't matter much.
But we're getting lost on this thread, let's let it cool off for a
little while :)
Cheers,
Rémi
