I am fine with whatever suits people.

New EAPI would be simpler for ebuilds but harder for eclasses (which
will have to support both cases). Additionally, there will be
the increased risk that thoughtless EAPI switch will silently trigger
failure.

Retroactive change has the benefit that most of the current uses become
valid and all ebuilds start to work correctly the moment we finish it.
Noticeably, the transition will occur with a portage upgrade so any
testing can be done through p.masking a single package.

That said, the tinderbox run would probably end up being community
effort in an --emptytree @world update.
