While I'm a fan of prefix, a stronger case for existing 
implementation (including more exposition of it) should be made for 
this rather then planning for discussion of it for eapi4.

This belongs in eapi3.  Arguement that it should be shelved because 
"we don't want to slow down eapi3" ignores the simplicity of it, the 
gains/costs being nailed down for it, and the fact every manager has 
to do work for eapi3- this is quite simple, hiding behind "eapi3 is 
locked down" is just dodging the needed specification due to lacking 
strong technical arguements to kill it.
