Several of these ebuilds are in stable, so I strongly oppose any action
that breaks existing ebuilds.

I made my thoughts on this clear during the last council meeting, I
believe the correct action is a pro-active approach where we require
eclasses to have a defined set of approved EAPIs set and updated by the
eclass maintainer in order to not require an audit by each ebuild
maintainer inheriting the eclass. This was discussed on the last council
meeting but did not get to a vote.
