What's the time frame for lifting that restriction? There are some key packages that base-system does not maintain, and it would be good to have a documented guideline for it. For example, I maintain the dev-lang/python ebuilds, and I will probably be jumping to EAPI 6 whenever Python 3.6 is released.
